[Intro] Cm Ab Db Bbm G
Cm
Club and spade I raise,
Ab
Here in this parlor in this never ending game we play
Db Bbm G
And we hide, just you and I, as day fades into day
Cm
Hidden in our room,
Ab
With a game that no one ever seems to win or lose
Db Bbm G
And the shades of flames remain from a world we keep far away
Cm
Ghosts of towns, ghosts of cities
Bb
Games that brought its sad demise
Ab
The only way to end the game
G
One who plays must sacrifice
[Interlude] Cm Ab Db Bbm G
Cm
Diamonds now I raise,
Ab
Outside we’d die and there is nowhere else I’d rather stay
Db Bbm G
In the scrawl beyond these walls in a cold and coarse and vicious place
Cm
Here where there’s no time,
Ab
There’s no loss or lies or need to speak of sacrifice
Db Bbm G
It’s no way to win a game and why else would a person play?
Cm
Ghosts of games, you’re always caught in
Bb
Ones you play but cannot win
Ab
The only way the game can die
G
One who plays must sacrifice
Ab Bb Cm Db
And on the day we come it’s over
Fm Eb Ab Bb
And you will have your fate laid out and spun,
Ab Bb Cm Db
It’s execution, and you may pray if you get comfort
Fm Eb Ab Bb
It’s on that day you’re duty’s done
Cm
Ab
Ghosts of Fay, the child I loved
Eb
Whose eyes and smile you remind me of
Fm
In the years I’ve been trapped here
Eb
Only you I’ve come to love
Ab
A ghost am I, one if they knew of
Eb
Who, with you, they’d come and kill
Fm
Ghosts of death I wish to die
Eb
But sacrifice so you might live
Cm
Ghosts of love, of little girls you
Bb
Talked and watched as they grew up
Ab
Ghosts of things and rings and gifts
G
You give to them so they might live
Cm
Ghosts of towns, ghosts of cities
Bb
Games that brought their sad demise
Ab
The only way to end the game
G
One who plays must sacrifice
N.C.
Hearts and now I fold,
You can’t mean that you just dream of death and wish to go?
You’re my soul, my angel,
The only thing that keeps me whole
How can you want to die?
All this time and all these years that slowly pass on by
You’re alive so I don’t die?
What kind of twisted sacrifice.
