F#F#           A augmentedA F#F#         E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
It's cloudy in the west, it looks like rain
F#F#           A augmentedA F#F#         E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
My eyes are black holes and I'm burning away
C# minorC#m               E MajorE
You slaughtered your loving man, killed him in his sleep
C# minorC#m                 E MajorE
The blood and crying of your murder simply stains the sheets

F#F#                 A augmentedA E MajorE
Your gesture is meaningless
F#F#                 A augmentedA E MajorE
You're lost to the living men

Trailing souls to the end

Verse:
F#F#              A augmentedA F#F#            E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
You thought winning as a woman, meant failing as a friend
F#F#            A augmentedA F#F#              E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
It is not an art statement to drown a few passionate men
C# minorC#m             E MajorE
You made yourself a diamond to blind young men's eyes
C# minorC#m                     E MajorE
You claim because they want your shine they deserve to walk the line

Chorus:
F#F#                 A augmentedA E MajorE
Now, you're a ghost on the highway
F#F#                 A augmentedA E MajorE
Your gesture is meaningless

You're lost to the living men

Trailing souls to the end

Bridge:

C#C#              E MajorE
Yes, I would give you my love so my soul would not starve

But it could never move the honest rock of what you are

F#F#                 A augmentedA E MajorE
A augmentedA ghost on the highway
F#F#                 A augmentedA E MajorE
You're like straw and meaningless
F#F#                 A augmentedA E MajorE
I hate you, but I love you

I'll carry that to the end

F#F#             A augmentedA F#F#          E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
If I ever lie with you again, I pray I do not sleep
F#F#             A augmentedA F#F#              E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
If I ever close my eyes again, I'd realize what you are to me
C# minorC#m
You are simply a liar
E MajorE
An animal who bluffs and steals
C# minorC#m        E MajorE
Until you become a bigger creature's meal

Chorus:
F#F#                 A augmentedA E MajorE
And a ghost on the highway
F#F#                 A augmentedA E MajorE
You're trash and meaningless
F#F#                 A augmentedA E MajorE
I hate you, but I love you
F#F#                 A augmentedA E MajorE
I'll carry that to the end
