The air is static in the attic where the ghosts of our past live, they are rust and bone, rust and bone
Am C F C G

Of all my reasons for fear of failure, my demons beneath me screaming let me out, let me out
Am C F C G
But I’m buried beneath the covers with the ghosts of my lovers thinking never or now, never or now
Am F C G
I’m losing sleep, I lost you once, I wont lose you now again
Am F C G
I’ll scream and shout till my lungs give out, till the blood runs cold beneath the skin
Am C G F
Forever my love
Am C G F
Forever my love
Am C G F
Forever my love
Am C G F
Forever my friend
