Chords

[Verse 1]
F                   Am                  C
I wanna go to the ocean and send a postcard of my loneliness

F                      Am
Forgetting you is so elusive

C
I run away but it's always this

G
You're the only one

F
I love

C                          G
It's always been you

F                                      Am
And I wish I was conscripted in the Merchant Marines

 C                                                       G                  F
Shanghaied into service of sails and machines, just to stay alive

 F                                  Am
And my sister keeps it simple she's a shipboard cook

 C                                                         G                   F
She can drive a line, but if you take a look, she's kinda worried though
[Chorus]
Am
'Cause I keep hoping you will find me

C
I keep hoping you will find me

Am
Hoping you will find me

C                                G  F
I keep hoping you will find me

C
I'm always a ghost
[Verse 2]
F                                      Am
I tried your gypsy table ramblings and your seance stunt

C
I keep an open mind but I think it's just a front

 G                        F
Want to believe it though

F                                       Am
My sister says: 'Forget her boy, that's all that you need'

 C                                                         G
Pitching magical elixirs and bottles full of mead for a broken heart

 F
It's too late for that
[Bridge]
 C
So light em up boys here's to your youth

 G                                F
Sing loud enough to tell the truth

C
I lost myself and that's where I lost you

 G                              F
Ohh oh oh, let go of that whipping post

 C
I'm always a ghost
[Verse 3]
Am
You're about as haunted as a darkened basement

C
I've got all the chances of a dog in a settlement

E
I live by her secrets, she'll never tell

G                                      F
I ride along without 'em on a deep sea swell

 Am
I heard there's someone new, and she starts to talk

C
She's the merry widow on the widow's walk

 E
And the fear is I'm the one no matter where you are

 G                          F
In this twisted, fucked up film noir
[Chorus]
Am
And I'm hoping you will find me

 C
I keep hoping you will find me

 Am
Hoping you will find me

C
I keep hoping you will find me

 G
Yeah yeah

C
So light em up boys here's to your youth

 G                             F
Sing loud enough to tell the truth

C
I lost myself and that's where I lost you

 G                                F
Ohh oh oh, let go of that whipping post
[Post-chorus]
F               C
I'm always a ghost

 G             F
I'm always a ghost

 G             C
I'm always a ghost

G               F
I'm always a ghost
I'm always a ghost [Outro]
