Ghosts by Laura Marling
Ghosts
Capo 2nd fret.
Bm G
He walked down a busy street
Staring solely at his feet
Clutching pictures of past lovers at his side
Stood at the table where she sat
And removed his hat
In respect of her presence
Bm G
Presents her with the pictures and says
‘These are just ghosts that broke my heart before I met you.
These are just ghosts that broke my heart before I met you’
Bm G
Opened up his little heart
Unlocked the lock that kept it dark
And read a written warning
Saying ‘I’m still mourning
Over ghosts
Over ghosts
Over ghosts
Over ghosts that broke my heart before I met you’
Em G
Lover, please do not
Fall to your knees
It’s not
Like I believe in
Everlasting love
Bm G
He went crazy at nineteen
Said he’d lost all his self esteem
And couldn’t understand why he was crying
Bm G
He would stare at empty chairs
Think of the ghosts that once sat there
The ghosts who broke his heart.
All the ghosts that broke my heart
The ghosts that broke his heart
All the ghosts that broke my heart
the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts
The ghosts that broke my heart before I met you
Lover, please do not
Fall to your knees
It’s not
Like I believe in
Everlasting love
Am7 Bm7 Am7 Am7
He says ‘I’m so lost,
Not at all well’
C E F C
Oooh
Oooh
Do as though there is nothing left to be
Turned out I’d been following him and he’d been following me
Do as though after it was over
We were just two lovers crying on each others shoulders
And i said
Em G
"Lover please do not
Fall to your knees
It’s not
Like I believe in
Everlasting love
Lover please do not
Fall to your knees
It’s not
Like I believe in
Everlasting love

Unlocked the lock that kept it dark
And read a written warning
Saying Im still mourning
