To Be A Ghost (CHORDS) by Jeff Rosenstock
[Verse 1]~
E C#m
Fuck off,.. the internet! I’m tired of circling
E C#m
amongst apologists who love ignoring the reality
E C#m B
of unarmed civilians executed publicly!
[Chorus]~
B A F#m
They want you to be a ghost
E C#
when they rob you of your hope,..
A C G B
but you’ve got power when they’re not expecting anything!
[Verse 2]~
E C#m
Born as a data mine for targeted marketing,..
E C#m
and no one will listen up until you become a hashtag or a meme
E C#m B
but hate’s not a fad that dies with its virality!
[Chorus]~
B A F#m
They want you to be a ghost
E C#
when they rob you of your hope,..
A C G B
but you’ve got power when they’re not expecting anything!
[Bridge]~
C#m D E E/Eb
I rush to my phone because I don’t wanna feel alone!
G D E
They forced us to grow into a world without a soul!

[Verse 3]~
E C#m B
Your frozen with dread as their chatter becomes deafening!
A F#m
If you’re tired of being told
E C#m
to stop complaining about the cold,..
A F#m
burn those fuckers in their homes!
E C#m
Burst their bubble and break their bones!
[Chorus]~
A F#m
They want you to be a ghost
E C#m
They want you to be a ghost,..
A F#m E
but we’ve got power ‘cause they can’t stop the things that they refuse to see!
E C#m
Fuck off,.. the internet! I’m tired of circling
