D
Hey, quit trying to fan the flames
        F#      G     D
Let the embers settle in
D
Cause nothing gold can stay
             F#          G                 Em
But you can always spray paint it again

[Chorus]
        G                        Bm    A        Em
Forever hide the shame of your stifled creativity
           Bm               D
Smoke your life down to the filter
           A               Em        G
Til you're coming close to blowing smoke
         A                  Em             G
So recognize your ghost is running out of rope

[Verse]
D
Say it now or hold your peace
        F#      G           D
Feel it bounce around your brain
               Bm    A
What makes the suffering sweet
    Em
Is the insurmountable pain

[Chorus]
              G
Dried up and obsolete
          Bm           A          Em
Your ugly pride can't exactly abstain
           Bm               D
Smoke your life down to the filter
            A               Em        G
'til you're coming close to blowing smoke
        A                   Em            G
So recognize your ghost is running out of rope

[Bridge]
             A
Now drop the anchor through
     Em                 G
The floorboards of your boat
             A
And let the crashing waves
Em                       G                       D
Fill your lungs 'til you choke, you choke, you choke

Oh yeah you're

[Chorus]
A               Em        G
Coming close to blowing smoke
        A                  Em              G
So recognize your ghost is running out of rope
             A
Now drop the anchor through
    Em                  G
The floorboards of your boat
            A
And let the crashing waves
Em                       G                       D
Fill your lungs 'til you choke, you choke, you choke
