Dm C F Bb Let’s start off the tale with reluctant confession Dm C F Bb I didn’t know love till it taught me a lesson Dm C F Bb I hid from the dark that was too dark to mention Dm C Bb I’ll just say that the demons were dancing
Dm C F Bb Now I got scars on my mind that I’m careful to cover Dm C F Bb It’s proof of a life and the proof of a lover Dm C F Bb The calluses tell me there won’t be another Dm C Bb I just pray the pain ain’t everlasting Dm C Take away the pain
Dm C Bb * I’m the ghost of black water Dm C Bb I’ll atone for my sins every soul I guide home Dm C It’s the best I can offer Gm Am Bb Now I envy the courage that she had to leave me behind Dm C F Bb Dm C Bb She holds the light, she holds the light
Dm C F Bb Like salt on a wound, I’m just bound to my tower Dm C F Bb Watching the waves over years over hours Dm C F Bb The white horses, they knock at the door of this coward Dm C Bb While I’m too scared to go down and answer
Dm C F Bb I watch from the pier as the storm passes over Dm C F Bb The tears come and go, she don’t get any closer Dm C/E F Bb The weight of the words I was too scared to tell her Dm C Bb Now it’s more than regret it’s a monster Dm C Oh it’s more than regret
Dm C Bb I’m the ghost of black water Dm C Bb I’ll atone for my sins every soul I guide home Dm C It’s the best I can offer Gm Am Now I envy the courage that she had to leave me
Dm C Bb I’m so tired of this dreaming Dm C Bb I can’t help but to curse every soul with a home Dm C/E Now I’m left with my demons Gm Am Bb And I’ll envy the shadows that cling to her all through the night
F C She holds the light, she holds the light Dm C Bb She holds the light, she holds the light F C She holds the light, she holds the light Dm Bb She holds the light, she holds the light
Dm C/E Bb I’m the ghost of black water Dm C Bb I’ll atone for my sins every soul I guide home Dm C/E It’s the best I can offer Gm Am Now I envy the courage that she had to leave me
Dm C Bb I’m so tired of this dreaming Dm C Bb I can’t help but to curse every soul with a home Dm C/E Now I’m left with my demons Gm Am And I’ll envy the shadows and the memories Bb That linger and cling to her all through the night
Dm C F Bb Dm C Bb She holds the light, she holds the light
