Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse:
Chord diagramA minorAm                                      Chord diagramDmDm
She flinches when anyone touches, still afraid to tells the cops
Chord diagramC majorC                                        Chord diagramE minorEm
And hides behind closed curtains, 'cause memories of that night won't stop

Chord diagramA minorAm                                         Chord diagramDmDm
While on the street corner he sits, rusted wheelchair, tin cup in hand
Chord diagramC majorC                                           Chord diagramE minorEm
Drinking down thoughts of shelling, and the leg he left in Afghanistan

Chord diagramA minorAm                                                  Chord diagramDmDm
The wife and husband, they no longer talk about it, both have forgotten how to pray
Chord diagramC majorC                                                        Chord diagramE minorEm
Choking back the tears every time they think about their daughter's tiny grave

Chord diagramDsus2Dsus2
And they're all just ignoring the ghosts down in their bones

Verse:
Chord diagramA minorAm                                      Chord diagramDmDm
Chord diagramA augmentedA tired man sits alone in a corner, his nursing home gray and cold
Chord diagramC majorC                                        Chord diagramE minorEm
With others abandoned by their children, they're all just struggling to be old

Chord diagramA minorAm                                      Chord diagramDmDm
She worries where life may go, orphaned young and no kin that cared
Chord diagramC majorC                                          Chord diagramE minorEm
Heading off in the back of a foster's car, alone and completely scared

Chord diagramA minorAm                                      Chord diagramDmDm
They sit at the bar, maybe they glance, yet they still sit far apart
Chord diagramC majorC                                      Chord diagramE minorEm
Cheated before, neither can afford the cost of another broken heart

Chord diagramDsus2Dsus2
And they're all just a little crippled by the ghosts in their bones

Bridge:
Chord diagramDmDm                               Chord diagramA minorAm
We collect and we keep them, and bury them deep
Chord diagramG+G                                   Chord diagramE minorEm
Wear our brave faces in public, and try not to weep
Chord diagramA minorAm                           Chord diagramC majorC
While life heaps on more, we ache, and we groan
Chord diagramAsus4Asus4                              Chord diagramA minorAm
Fighting to keep the ghosts buried down in our bones

Verse:
Chord diagramA minorAm                                               Chord diagramDmDm
They left bits of their soul scattered along the shoulder of life's road
Chord diagramC majorC                                        Chord diagramE minorEm
Taking life's punches, entombing fears, all trying not to carry that load

Chord diagramA minorAm                                   Chord diagramDmDm
The boy who can't face a priest, and who walks away from God
Chord diagramC majorC                                                 Chord diagramE minorEm
Or the girl who can't face her father, because he made childhood nasty and hard

Chord diagramA minorAm                                                        Chord diagramDmDm
They rattle within even those, even those without sin, to deal with on our own
Chord diagramC majorC                                 Chord diagramE minorEm
Getting by but always fearing the ghosts down in their bones


And we're all just a little haunted by ghosts in our bones
