"Lighthouse"

(Capo is on 2)

Am Em C G

Take what you need while there's time

Am G C G

The city will be earth in a short while

Am Em C G

If I'm not mistaken it's been in flames

Am G C G

You and I will escape to the seaside

Am Em C G

There is a storm in the distance

Am G C G

The wind breathing warning of its imminence

Am Em C G

There is a lighthouse five hundred yards down

Am Em C G

You and I will be safe there

Cm Fm G

There is a girl who haunts that lighthouse

Cm Fm G

She saved me, I was swimming

So young I almost drowned

G# Cm G

Under the water she sang a story

G# Cm G

Of losing her lover

She calls a warning

-------------------------------------

Am Em C G

Love, you are foolish, you're tired

Am Em C G

Your sleeplessness makes you a liar

Am Em C G

The city is burning, the ocean is turning

Am Em C G

Our only chance is the lighthouse

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Cm Fm G

Her lover was a sailor

She went and she waited there

Cm Fm G

The door locked from the outside

G# Cm G

Lover never arrived so she sings there

G# Cm G G

Soft as a siren luring the ships off their course, how alarming

Am Em C G

We went in, we climbed up and looked out

Am Em

The door locked from the outside

C G

Three ghosts in a lighthouse
