[Verse 1]
F#m
I'm a ghost
D
Walking in a boring dream
Bm
You are there
A
Talking and I'm not listening
G
I am busy doing nothing
D A
And you're rudely interrupting
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m D
It's a myth and now I see it clearly
A D Bm
You don't have to be sad to make something worth hearing
F#m A
Now I'm calm and content
Bm G
One more burden off my back
[Chorus]
D A Bm
You don't wanna be a creator
G D A
Doesn't mean you've got nothing to say
D A Bm G
Put down the pen, don't let it force your hand
[Verse 2]
F#m
I'm a ghost
D
Walking on an empty street
Em
No name anymore
A
No need to call for me
G
I'm a long-lost hometown hero
D Em
Late to legendary past lives within me
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m D
If I had the offer to do it again
A Bm G
Make me invincible, invisible, or brain dead
F#m A D G
If the body and the life were two things that we could divide
A D
I'd deliver up my shell to be filled with somebody else
(Guitar Solo)
[Chorus]
D A Bm
You don't wanna be a creator
G D A
Doesn't mean you've got nothing to say
D A Bm G
Put down the pen, don't let it force your hand
D A Bm
You don't wanna be a leader
G D A
Doesn't mean you don't know the way
D A Bm G
Hold your own hand, walk on without a plan
