Lovers' Revolution
Ghost on Ghost (2013)
Look guys, this song is kind of insane, but it's also one of my favourites. These are really going to be a 
very rough approximation of what happens in this song, but I think it's playable at least. Spruce up these 
chords however you see fit, I figure the rough template is all I can give you.
Capo 4
EmI came to you and you to me
And we were tapping on the window at the children when the piggy bank bDroke
  CPitching quite a fitEm  
About how the maDkers of the medicine will alCways say you’re looking sickEm  
EmI came to you and you to me
And we would whimper to the women washing milk off of their formal white cDlothes
  CBut the funny thingEm  
Was how when GDod was in his people we were dCreaming about who else to beEm  
And all the fiDngers that we damaged when all we Cwanted was a diamond ringEm  
EmI came to you and you to me 
And we were barking at the drug dogs, blood dried black on their haDnds
  CAnd never realizedEm  
You never tuDssle with a giant til you can Chit him right between the eyesEm  
And that no Dmatter how we chewed it, we’d be cChoking on a compromiseEm  
Cause all the Djaws, all the claws lay Crestless by the riversideEm  
And it wasn’t Dmuscle in the shadow that was Cshoving us into the lightEm  
EmI came to you and you to me
And we were snatching at a war baby’s bottle just to trade it for chDange
  CBut now it’s come to passEm  
That every Deye beneath the mountain saw the Csmoke but no one heard the blastEm  
That no one Dknew the arm was broken although Ceverybody signed the castEm  
And until the Dgovernment was good, she said “MCan, I thought you’d never ask”Em  
And when lDove wore out her welcome, they just bCooked her for a bag of grassEm  
That while sDhe cried on the cross, we were suckCing on the laughing gasEm  
And when the Dhead had left the body, not a fClag was hanging half-mastEm  
EmI came to you and you to me
And then we lost our own lovers’ revolution but it started agDain
  CAnd now we’re oneEm  
One of the pDarade wake widows walking hoCme into the setting sunEm  
One of the sDoldiers lost in the drCeams that never lose the gunEm  
One of the wDise men wandering the poCdium without a tongueEm  
One of the tDrophies tarnished by the Cmess we made of being youngEm  
One of the pDrayers, one of the promises swaCllowed with our chewing gumEm  
One of the dDeaf ears, dumber all the tiCme for all the years of drumsEm  
One of the wiDde-eyed soap boxes bCuried under WashingtonEm  
One of the Dbeat cops combing every sCidewalk crack for loveEm  
One of the cDrowded stars uncouCnted when the map was doneEm  
One of the wDithered in the garden left to woCnder when the rain will comeEm

Lovers' Revolution

Ghost on Ghost (2013)

Look guys, this song is kind of insane, but it's also one of my favourites. These are really going to be a

very rough approximation of what happens in this song, but I think it's playable at least. Spruce up these

chords however you see fit, I figure the rough template is all I can give you.

Capo 4

I came to you and you to me

And we were tapping on the window at the children when the piggy bank broke

C Em

Pitching quite a fit

D C Em

About how the makers of the medicine will always say you’re looking sick

I came to you and you to me

And we would whimper to the women washing milk off of their formal white clothes

C Em

But the funny thing

D C Em

Was how when God was in his people we were dreaming about who else to be

D C Em

And all the fingers that we damaged when all we wanted was a diamond ring

I came to you and you to me

And we were barking at the drug dogs, blood dried black on their hands

C Em

And never realized

D C Em

You never tussle with a giant til you can hit him right between the eyes

D C Em

And that no matter how we chewed it, we’d be choking on a compromise

D C Em

Cause all the jaws, all the claws lay restless by the riverside

D C Em

And it wasn’t muscle in the shadow that was shoving us into the light

I came to you and you to me

And we were snatching at a war baby’s bottle just to trade it for change

C Em

But now it’s come to pass

D C Em

That every eye beneath the mountain saw the smoke but no one heard the blast

D C Em

That no one knew the arm was broken although everybody signed the cast

D C Em

And until the government was good, she said “Man, I thought you’d never ask”

D C Em

And when love wore out her welcome, they just booked her for a bag of grass

D C Em

That while she cried on the cross, we were sucking on the laughing gas

D C Em

And when the head had left the body, not a flag was hanging half-mast

I came to you and you to me

And then we lost our own lovers’ revolution but it started again

C Em

And now we’re one

D C Em

One of the parade wake widows walking home into the setting sun

D C Em

One of the soldiers lost in the dreams that never lose the gun

D C Em

One of the wise men wandering the podium without a tongue

D C Em

One of the trophies tarnished by the mess we made of being young

D C Em

One of the prayers, one of the promises swallowed with our chewing gum

D C Em

One of the deaf ears, dumber all the time for all the years of drums

D C Em

One of the wide-eyed soap boxes buried under Washington

D C Em

One of the beat cops combing every sidewalk crack for love

D C Em

One of the crowded stars uncounted when the map was done

D C Em

One of the withered in the garden left to wonder when the rain will come
