I'm A Ghost Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]
[C]
[G]
[Dm]

[Verse 1]
Come [Am]on (come on)
Two sheets to the wind in a taxi
Two feet to the wind in the
[C]backseat (two feet)
Two beeps to the car in front of us
Or one of us ending up wrapped round
[G]the chassis (these rhymes)
Thinking 'bout these rhymes,
and what they gave me
Sounds out this world,
but a micro[Dm]phone and (microphone)
Two turntables saved me
Took me round the world and bought me
a home [Am]and (they know)

[Verse 2]
I've seen all these other crew's bank [Am]too
(I see you)
Not knowing all the ways
people [G]helped 'em
Might not ever [C]get a damn
thank you
But they're sure 'nough gonna get
a you're welcome (you're welcome)
[G]Matter fact, I ain't leaving (no)
I was here first and I don't
believe 'em (no)
I was here [Dm]bursting,
listening to Primo and Chino and Thirstin
And missing out on [F]being there for people
in [Am]person (I'm sorry)

[Verse 3]
'Cause we don't sleep when we're working
[Am]
We don't bleed when we're hurting
We wear our [C]heart on our sleeve and I'm
certain (come on)
That we'll feel the burden 'til we call it curtains,
you feel [G]me? (You feel me)
Do you feel me? [Dm](Do you feel me?)
This [Am]that

[Verse 4]
Light inside the core that
can blind with its force
It's the writing on the wall; light
it up on the porch
[C]It's 1994, five mic's in The Source
It's a mighty; mighty roar from
the crowd and of course, [G]it's
[Dm]This

[Verse 5]
Do you feel me?
[Am]Went from going through
quotes in the liners
[C]To being [G]known from the
[C]shows on the [G]fliers
[F]Playing packed rooms,
heading to the back room
To [C]cool down my face with some
ice from the rider
[Am]Looking out to a crowd full of lighters
[G]And the day those
lights don't inspire us
[F]You'll see me walking out
[C]I'm a ghost, I'm gone

[Verse 6]
[Am]Two sheets on a surface of water
Loose- leaf writing worthless and torn up
If I [C]could do these words justice
You'd see how much it's
worth that I fought for
[G]Every kid that never got one mention
Every little bit of love or affection
I'm [Dm]done with pretending
the sun is descending
And all good things must
[G]come to an ending
[Am]'Cause I swore to the day this is

[Verse 7]
Nothing more than a flawed entertainment biz
[C]
And if I walk away with nothing well
let me tell you something
That's fucking more
than I came [G]here with
Feel [Dm]me? (I'm gone)
Do you feel [Am]me? (I'm gone)

[Verse 8]
And I'd be lying if I said I wasn't [Am]grateful
For my life for my friends
and for the faithful
[C]It's been a ride,
but there's been a few times
That I'd thought I'd lose sight
when the effort was so [G]painful
But rap gave me such inspired dreams

[Verse 9]
In fact maybe touched my life when things
[Dm]Got a little crazy and nobody
would [F]pay me
The ends that plainly justified [Dm]the means
[Am]At last I can see we've all been blind
It's hard to believe that all this time
[G]That I wore my [C]heart on my sleeve
for this art and the [G]scene
Gonna be hard when I leave
that all behind
You feel me? [Dm](You feel me?)

[Verse 10]
Do you feel me? (Do you feel me?)
[Dm]Went [Am]from going through
quotes in the liners
[C]To being known from the
shows on the [G]fliers
[F]Playing packed rooms,
heading to the back room
To [C]cool down my face with some
ice from the rider
[Am]Looking out to a crowd full of lighters
[G]And the day those
lights don't inspire us
[F]You'll see me walking out
[C]I'm a ghost, I'm gone

[Verse 11]
[Am]Went from going through
quotes in the liners
[G]To being known from the
[Em]shows on the [G]fliers
[F]Playing packed rooms,
heading to the back room
To [C]cool down my face with some
ice from the rider
[Am]Looking out to a crowd full of lighters
[G]And the day those
lights don't inspire us
[F]You'll see me walking out
[C]I'm a ghost, I'm gone

[Verse 12]
[Am]Low winter sun, light the dawn in gold
[C]I'm [Am]a ghost, [C]I'm gone
Though when it's done night is on us all
I'm a ghost, I'm gone
[G]Nowhere to run, writing's on the wall
I'm a ghost, I'm [F]gone
So when it come, rise [Dm]before we fall

[Verse 13]
I'm a ghost, I'm gone
[Am]Low winter sun, light the dawn in gold
I'm a ghost, I'm gone
[C]Broken and done dying on us all
I'm a ghost, I'm gone
[G]Nowhere to run, writing's on the wall
I'm a ghost, I'm gone
[F]So [Dm]when it comes, rise, rise,
[F]before we fall

[Verse 14]
[Am]Went from going through
quotes in the liners
[G]To being [Em]known from the
shows on the fliers
[F]Playing packed rooms,
heading to the back room
To [C]cool down my face with some
ice from the rider
[Am]Looking out to a crowd full of lighters
[G]And the day[C] those lights
don't in[G]spire us
[F]You'll see me walking out
[C]I'm a ghost
