Key: C
Introduction:
C
You tried your best to bury in the ground
C
A place, a face, a very small town
C
The walls you built are crumbling down
C
Haunted by the shadows all around
Pre-Chorus
Am F C
And yeah, it was forever ago
Am F C
The scars are more painful than you'll know
Dm Am F C
The ghosts in your heart are alive, spread the ashes of your father
Dm Am F C
If your angst has survived, then you're only treading water
Verse
C
You feel like you can never get it right
C
Sticks and stones have given up the fight
C
Cause words cut sharper than a knife
C
And losses become larger than life
Pre-Chorus
Am F C
And yeah, it was forever ago
Am F C
The closer sometimes just wont stay closed
Dm Am F C
The ghosts in your heart are alive, spread the ashes of your father
Dm Am F C
If your angst has survived, then you're only treading water
Dm Am F C
If you're lost in the dark then you're only treading water
Dm Am F C
Release to the wind, spread the ashes of your father
Bridge
Dm Am F C
'cause you're only treading water
Dm Am F C
Release me
Dm Am F C
Let me go
Dm Am F C
Release me
Dm Am F C
Let me go
Dm Am F C
Release me
Pre-Chorus
Am F C
And yeah, it was forever ago
Am F C
But the past has a deadly undertow
Dm Am F C
The ghosts in your heart are alive, spread the ashes of your father
Dm Am F C
If your angst has survived, then you're only treading water
Dm Am F C
If you're lost in the dark, then you're only treading water

Release to the wind, spread the ashes of your father
Bridge

'cause you're only treading water
