To Be A Ghost chords by Jeff Rosenstock

Verse 1:
E                                    C#m
Fuck off, the internet. I’m tired of circling
E                                          C#m
amongst apologists who love ignoring the reality
E                               C#m      B
of unarmed civilians executed publicly.

Chorus:
B            A           F#m
  They want you to be a ghost
           E             C#
when they rob you of your hope,
               A                  C             G    B
but you’ve got power when they’re not expecting anything.

Verse 2:
E                                 C#m
Born as a data mine for targeted marketing,
E                                                   C#m
and no one will listen up until you become a hashtag or a meme
E                                         C#m     B
but hate’s not a fad that dies with its virality.

Chorus:
B            A           F#m
  They want you to be a ghost
           E             C#
when they rob you of your hope,
               A                  C             G    B
but you’ve got power when they’re not expecting anything.


Bridge:
C#m          D                     E           E/Eb
I rush to my phone because I don’t wanna feel alone.
                   G           D               E
They forced us to grow into a world without a soul.

Verse 3:
E                                                C#m    B
Your frozen with dread as their chatter becomes deafening.
           A              F#m
If you’re tired of being told
             E                C#m
to stop complaining about the cold,
            A               F#m
burn those fuckers in their homes.
             E                     C#m
Burst their bubble and break their bones.

Chorus:
             A           F#m
  They want you to be a ghost
           E           C#m
They want you to be a ghost,
               A                       F#m                                 E
