[Verse 1]
GmI hope there's a shot in the dark
GmThat if I keep it up, I can keep on going
GmThey say that life is short
GmAnd it can't be bought by the likes of me
GmI heard that it won't be long
GmUntil we're gone like dew in the morning
BbStop the clocks, pull up your socks
CGo find a fountain to wash it off
[Verse 2]
GmSo kill the screen, head to Medellin
GmTo shout and scream and find your trouble
GmLive amongst the orange roses
GmPull vogue poses and wash it off
BbLord knows I'm in the field
CHellhounds are back and on my heels
[Verse 3]
GmThey said I died last week
GmIn the Pacific Ocean, no words spoken
GmPlane fell right out the sky
GmBut they dunno why, but don't you worry
Bb'Cause life's a lie, so roll the die
CKeep on trying to wash it off
[Chorus]
GmGo wFash Cit Bboff
GmGo wFash Cit Bboff
GmGo wFash Cit Bboff
[Verse 4]
GmDon't you even think of me
Gm'Cause I'll be free beyond the levee
GmAll that's left is a ghost machine
GmAnd it can't be reached, but you can try
BbYou should go buy the boat and build a moat
CUntie yourself
[Chorus]
GmGo wFash Cit Bboff
GmGo wFash Cit Bboff
GmGo wFash Cit Bboff
[Bridge]
GmYou're my ride or die
GmI just wish I'd said goodbye one last time (One last time)
CNow all that's left's a ghost machine
DIt can't be reached, it won't be seen Gmagain (Seen again)
C'Cause you were my ride or die
DI just wanted to say Gmgoodbye (To say goodbye)
C'Cause all that's left's a ghost machine
DIt can't be reached, it won't be seen Gmagain
[Interlude]

[Chorus]
GmGo wBbash FiGmt off, go wash it off
GmGo wBbash Fit Gmoff, go wash it off
GmGo wBbash Fit Gmoff, go wash it off

[Verse 1]

I hope there's a shot in the dark

That if I keep it up, I can keep on going

They say that life is short

And it can't be bought by the likes of me

I heard that it won't be long

Until we're gone like dew in the morning

Stop the clocks, pull up your socks

Go find a fountain to wash it off

[Verse 2]

So kill the screen, head to Medellin

To shout and scream and find your trouble

Live amongst the orange roses

Pull vogue poses and wash it off

Lord knows I'm in the field

Hellhounds are back and on my heels

[Verse 3]

They said I died last week

In the Pacific Ocean, no words spoken

Plane fell right out the sky

But they dunno why, but don't you worry

'Cause life's a lie, so roll the die

Keep on trying to wash it off

[Chorus]

Gm F C Bb

Go wash it off

Gm F C Bb

Go wash it off

Gm F C Bb

Go wash it off

[Verse 4]

Don't you even think of me

'Cause I'll be free beyond the levee

All that's left is a ghost machine

And it can't be reached, but you can try

You should go buy the boat and build a moat

Untie yourself

[Chorus]

Gm F C Bb

Go wash it off

Gm F C Bb

Go wash it off

Gm F C Bb

Go wash it off

[Bridge]

You're my ride or die

I just wish I'd said goodbye one last time (One last time)

Now all that's left's a ghost machine

D Gm

It can't be reached, it won't be seen again (Seen again)

'Cause you were my ride or die

D Gm

I just wanted to say goodbye (To say goodbye)

'Cause all that's left's a ghost machine

D Gm

It can't be reached, it won't be seen again

[Interlude]
