G#m
   I drove the highways

      E
of a skeleton coast

G#m
   Salt and sea tapped

E
mysteries into the keys

G#m                      E
   I wrote an opus of distorted

      G#m        E     B
truths   A symphony to crashing

         F#     G#m
waves of victory
[Chorus 1]

       I am a ghostwriter

G#m E   B            F#
     Pretend I am forever young

G#m E B             F#
      I bleed every ribbon dry

E       B      F#     G#m
Waiting for my day to come

G#m             E
   Tamerlane my poor soul
in a last refrain
G#m                 E
   An endless storm rattles

                B
on my windowpane The Creaking

F#/A#       G#m
floors lost voices of a

E            G#m    F#   E
thousand wars   The fire roars
[Chorus 2]
G#m E B       F#
       I am a ghostwriter

G#m E   B            F#

[Bridge]
B     F#  G#m       F#
  How long   can we sing

         E               B F#
the same old tired songs?

B     F#  G#m             F#
  How long   can we tread water?

The shore is only getting smaller

Waiting for my day to come

Waiting for my day to come

   G#m F# E
to come
