_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [G] _ _ [A] He walked down a busy street staring so little sweetly
Clutching [G] pictures of those lovers that he shined
Instead of the [A] day, he's just sad, giving me hate
_ _ [G] _ _
[D] He's so shy [G] with the pictures and says
These [Dm] _ are _ [D] just ghosts, he'd throw my [G] up if I mentioned
_ [D]
Up and opposite [G] light, unlocked the lock that kept it dark
[G] I've read a written warning, saying I'm [A] still mourning
[G] Lover, ghost, lover, ghost, lover, ghost, lover, [A] ghost
He'd throw my up if I mentioned
[G] _ [Em] _ _ [G] Lover, please do [Em] not fall to [G] your knees
[Em] It's not like I [G] believe in _ everlasting
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[D] _ _ [G] _ _ [A] He went crazy at nineteen, said he'd lost [A] all his self-esteem
Couldn't understand [G] why he was crying, crying, _ crying, _ crying _ _
_ [Gbm] He would stare at [G] empty chairs, think of the ghosts, the ones [D] that there
The ghost of the broken heart, all the [E] ghosts that broke my heart
[G] Lover, ghost, lover, ghost, [D] lover, [G] ghost, lover, ghost
_ [D] He'd throw my up [G] if I mentioned
_ [Em] _ Lover, [G] please do [Em] not fall to your knees

not at [Am] all
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ [F] _ He's gone
[C] _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ Till [Cm] _
_ _ _ it's done, there's [Bm] nothing left to be
[F] The time that I've been [C] pouring in, he'd been fine
Till it's [Bm] done, after it was [F] over
We were just [C] two lovers, praying on each other's shoulders
[Em] I'd say, lover, please do not fall to [G] your knees
It's not like I believe in everlasting

It's [E]
not like I [G] [Em] believe in everlasting

Gold is [Gm] greedy, [Eb] gold is fickle, [Bb] gold is fun
Gold is greedy, [Eb] gold is fickle, [Bb] gold is fun
There is gold across the river but I [Eb] don't want none
