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

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