Jeff Rosenstock - To Be A Ghost Chords

Jeff Rosenstock - To Be A Ghost Chords

[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  
but we’ve got power ‘cause they can’t stop the things that they refuse to see.
