[Chorus]
C#m/G#
Don’t let my ghost drag you down
A
If you don’t see me around
E
It doesn’t mean that I fell, Yeah I’m doing well
B
I got some roses to smell
C#m/G#
I hope you smile when I’m gone
A
It means I had the strength to move on
E
To find another story to tell, to answer the bell
B
I got some roses to smell
[Verse 1]
C#m/G#
When magic’s happening my habit’s been coiling up a memory and trappin it right
A
In the cavity of my ribs, like the doors of a cabinet might
E
But you won’t hold onto a shadow just by grabbing it tight, Set it free and let it back in the light
B
Never out of my heart, even when out of my sight, Leaving is s'posed to be hard
Man I thought it so was selfish of people I love to keep falling out of my life
C#m/G#
But now I know
A
No I don’t take it personal
E
If you got a really lovely place to go, I will chase my goals, yeah, to make me whole
B
Cause it’s urgent we love and be loved, I’ve begun to scrub up with detergent to shine up my soul
[Chorus]
C#m/G#
Don’t let my ghost drag you down
A
If you don’t see me around
E
It doesn’t mean that I fell, Yeah I’m doing well
B
I got some roses to smell
C#m/G#
I hope you smile when I’m gone
A
It means I had the strength to move on
E
To find another story to tell, To answer the bell
B
I got some roses to smell
[Verse 2]
C#m/G#
Cause every screen that we tap is screaming that bigger is better
Better is how you make yourself matter, But matter is fleeting
A
Am I living to feed a machine that I’m blind to see?
E
No point in hiding my pride if there’s no privacy
N.C.
I’ve already dedicated too much of my time to trying to get my followers up
B
And crying out for attention, And sleeping around to mend a hollow crater inside of me
C#m/G#
Knowing well that it don’t mean shit
A
Going to the well for another cheap dopamine hit
E
I’m done being a bitch to ambition, I’m already rich
B
I got a head that’s full of million dollar questions, And the length of it
N.C.
Is I don’t need the courage to work, I want the strength to quit
[Chorus]
N.C.
Don’t let my ghost drag you down
N.C.
If you don’t see me around
N.C.
It doesn’t mean that I fell
N.C.
Yeah I’m doing well
N.C.
I got some roses to smell
