The City And The Ghost

G G Tonight I need the bright lights Cadd9 still got her face on my mind. G Heading where the talk is cheap and I'm Cadd9 dressed to a "t" Em7 Dsus Cadd9 so they won't notice me G It's warm for October Cadd9 and I've got the windows down. G The skyline whispers Cadd9 Em7 Dsus Cadd9 her promises, the same lie each night. Em7 Dsus Cadd9 But I force myself to believe... G Dsus Cadd9 And I swore it'd be different but how could it be? G Dsus Cadd9 What I came to escape is right here inside of me. G The city's a desert Cadd9 with photographic stars. G Each pretty face is Cadd9 Em7 Dsus Cadd9 just a mirage, and my mouth's full of sand again. Pre-Chorus2: Em7 Dsus Cadd9 But I force myself to believe, Em7 Dsus Cadd9 across the river's the cure for what's sick inside of me. G Dsus Cadd9 And I swore it'd be different but how could it be? G Dsus Cadd9 What I came to escape is right here inside of me. G Dsus Cadd9 And I swore it'd be different but how could it be? G Dsus Cadd9 What I came to escape is right here inside of me. Dsus Cadd9 Em7 G Dsus Cadd9 Em7 G Dsus Cadd9 Em7 I look in the mirror past the buildings, G the sky's getting light. Dsus Cadd9 Em7 Another piece of my innocence is the admission G I paid there tonight. Em7 Dsus Cadd9 Slow down past her exit though it makes me sick, and I Em7 Dsus imagine her saying, Em7 Dsus Cadd9 "You're better than this Em7 Dsus Cadd9 you're better than this." G Dsus Cadd9 And I swore it'd be different but how could it be? G Dsus Cadd9 What I came to escape is right here inside of me. G Dsus Cadd9 And I swore it'd be different but how could it be? G Dsus Cadd9 Em7 Dsus What I came to escape is right here inside of me. Cadd9 Whoa-Whoa G Em7 Dsus Cadd9 And I swore it'd be different
