Lighthouse Tab

        [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]

Verse:  Take what you need while there's time
            [ch]D[/ch]            [ch]A[/ch]          [ch]Bm[/ch]        [ch]A[/ch]
        The city will be earth in a short while
           [ch]Bm[/ch]        [ch]D[/ch]     [ch]Bm[/ch]           [ch]A[/ch]
        If I'm not mistaken it's been in flames
               [ch]Bm[/ch]        [ch]A[/ch]            [ch]D[/ch]        [ch]A[/ch]
        You and I will escape to the seaside

        There is a storm in the distance
        The wind breathing warning of its imminence
        There is a lighthouse five hundred yards down
        You and I will be safe there

        [ch]Bm[/ch]         [ch]Em[/ch]       [ch]F#[/ch]          [ch]F#[/ch]
passage:There is a girl who haunts that lighthouse
            [ch]Bm[/ch]               [ch]Em[/ch]
        She saved me, I was swimming
        [ch]F#[/ch]         [ch]F#[/ch]
        So young I almost drowned
        [ch]Em[/ch]         [ch]Bm[/ch]   [ch]F#[/ch]         [ch]F#[/ch]
        Under the water she sang a story
            [ch]Em[/ch]        [ch]Bm[/ch]
        Of losing her lover
       F#           F#      F#   F# (last F# 2 quarters' length instead of 3)
        She calls a warning

Verse:  Love, you are foolish, you're tired
        Your sleeplessness makes you a liar
        The city is burning, the ocean is turning
        Our only chance is the lighthouse

Passage:Her lover was a sailor, she went and she waited there
        The door locked from the outside
        Lover never
        arrived so she sings there, soft as a siren
        Luring the ships off their
        course, how alarming

        [ch]Bm[/ch]      [ch]Em[/ch]     [ch]F#[/ch]            [ch]F#[/ch]
        We went in, we climbed up and looked out
        [ch]Bm[/ch]                      [ch]Em[/ch]
        The door locked from the outside
        F#                F# [last chord is 2 quarters instead of 3]
        Three ghosts in a lighthouse
