[Intro]
E G#m
[Verse 1]
E F#
But I don't believe in ghosts or anything, I know that you are gone and that
I'm carrying
G#m
some version of you around
F# G#m
Some untrustworthy old description in my memories
E F# G#m
And that must be your ghost taking form, created every moment by me dreaming
you so
F# G#m
And is it my job now to hold whatever's left of you for all time? And to
F# G#m
re-enact you for our daughter's life?
[Verse 2]
F# G#m E
I do remember when I was a kid and realized that life ends and is just over;
F#
that a point comes
G#m
where we no longer get to say or do anything
F# G#m
And then what? I guess just forgotten
E F#
And I said to my mom that I hoped to do something important with my life
G#m F# G#m
Not be famous, but just remembered a little more, to echo beyond my actual
end
E F#
And my mom laughed at this kid trying to wriggle his way out of mortality, of
G#m
the final inescapable
feral scream
F# G#m
But I held that hope and grew up wondering what dying means
F# G#m
Unsatisfied, ambitious and squirming
[Verse 3]
F# G#m
The first dead body I ever saw in real life, was my great-grandfather's
E F#
Embalmed in a casket in Everett, in a room by the freeway
G#m
Where they talked me into reading a thing from the Bible
About walking through a valley in the shadow of death
G#m E F#
But I didn't understand the words, I thought of actually walking through a
valley in a shadow,
G#m
with a backpack and a tent
F# E
But that dead body next to me spoke clear and metaphor-free
