Intro: F C G F C G F C G F C E7 [Verso 1] Am Do the ghosts spiral round C Your dark and tousled hair Dm Do they spin all of the lies F Of all the things that weren't fair Am Do they whisper all the doubts C Of all you never thought you'd be Dm Are their voices drowning out F All the good you cannot see Am Do you run or do you hide C When the cries all get too loud Dm Do you hold it all inside before you F Quietly check out Am Do you try again and hope C It'll all work out this time Dm But the ghosts they seep back in F Killin' the chance before you've tried [Refrão] F It's easy words to say C "I've been too long where you are" G I've seen the chances fade Dm And I buried my dead heart F But something always stirs C Awakens me again G 'til I buried my own ghosts E7 And healed the child locked within [Verso 2] Am A year ago I found a peace C I never thought I'd see Dm I sat with all my ghosts F Heard their stories, set them free Am In the resurrecting of the things C I held that weren't mine Dm I found my own forgiveness F Long abandoned in that time Am I walked away that day C Not knowing who I'd find Dm I never got to know myself F In fifty years of time Am One dark enshrouded night C Beside the dancing fireside Dm I sat within the silence F Held the peace that now was mine [Refrão] F It's easy words to say C You've "been where I am" G You understand the pain that comes Dm From the hands of a man F But something deeper stirred C Awakened here with you Dm I freed my buried ghosts E7 And found the self I never knew Instrumental: Am C Dm F (3x) Am C Dm E7 [Verso 3] (breakdown) Am We all inherit stories C Generational ties Dm All the broken pieces F Keep the ghosts alive Am Our fathers' carried weight C A perfect mothers' time Dm Weave tapestries of fate, become F The ghosts that haunt our minds Am The words spoken out loud C where disappointment couldn't hide Dm Shape errant expectations F Unattainable pride Am Internalized reflections C Of all they never thought they'd be Dm Now our laden burdens F It's our turn to set them free... [Refrão] F Easy words to say C "It's not your fault or mine" G Hidden wounds we share Dm Heal together over time F Something bigger stirs C Awakened now within Dm Free from all the ghosts E7 Free to start again... Instrumental: F C G F C G F C G F C E7 (hold) Dm C I'm grateful for the ghosts G F who at last have set me free Am
