Em      C       G       D
VERSE 1
EmTo my moCther, I'll be sorry that I gotta go
GTo my brDother, I'll be sorry that I gotta go
EmTo you I Cwish that I could say I wish you well
GBut I thDink I'll be waiting until
EmI'm honeCstly ablGe.D  
VERSE 2
I'm sure the air is lighter on the seas
In every city settled far away from me
Now I'm negotiating with the fear
That something's wrong with the daylight here
And I can't fix it.
CHORUS
CCrooked Gor kind, if I'm free, if I'm fine
DEither wEmay, whatever I do
CWhicheveGr coast, there'll be room there for ghosts
DEither wEmay, I'll be thinking of you.C  G  D  
VERSE 3
When gone I have sworn that I will worry not
Of satisfaction, justice, or the will of God
I'm not sure there's any difference in the three
Whatever the conscience decrees
I hope we both feel right.
CHORUS
Crooked or kind, if I'm free, if I'm fine
Either way, whatever I do
Whichever coast, there'll be room there for ghosts
Either way, I'll be thinking of you.
