Ghost Of A Lie (CHORDS) by The Accidentals
[Intro]~
Bm F#m
[Verse 1]~
Bm
There’s an old house with a blue heart
F#m
A TV lights up the choking dark
Bm
And in a white room an old man sighs
F#m
His friends a lamp and the ghost of a lie
Bm F#m

[Verse 2]~
Bm
Once in a cold March my childhood friend
F#m
Took my hand and dragged me to the driveway’s end
Bm
Where in the front yard,.. a dog would creep
F#m
The light in the darkness was his bared teeth
[Chorus]~
Bm D F#m E
Find my bones in the bottles of the oak tree
Bm D F#m E
My old ghosts never fail to catch up to me
Bm D
Little sister,.. thief of peace
F#m E G
Let the crows of war cease their battle cries
F#
And let these memories die
Bm F#m

Bm F#m
[Verse 3]~
Bm
In a war-torn,.. damaged mind
F#m
The young man that he was never took flight
Bm
And I could see it in his broken eyes
F#m
As he gazed from the window of his room of white
[Chorus]~
Bm D F#m E
Find my bones in the bottles of the oak tree
Bm D F#m E
My old ghosts never fail to catch up to me
Bm D
Little sister,.. thief of peace
F#m E G
Let the crows of war cease their battle cries
F#
And let these memories die

Bm F#m
[Verse 4]~
Bm
In the heart of a bitter hound
F#m
There is an endless howl that never sounds
Bm
So lay a kind hand upon his back
F#m
For what is one lone wolf without a pack..?
[Chorus]~
Bm D F#m E
Find my bones in the bottles of the oak tree
Bm D F#m E
My old ghosts never fail to catch up to me
