Fighting A Ghost

Tom: C

C
What do you say
          Am                           
When your heart's not in it?
F                                 
What do you do
             C        G      
When there's no new beginning?
C                                
How do you start
            Am                     
When you've forgotten how to finish?
F                                 
Or how to be free again?
C                G                
Or what the word even meant?
                                 
                                 
[Chorus]
C                    Am            
Give me somethin' to keep me runnin'
      F                      C
Don't let that fire burn out
      G                     
Whoa oh oh oh
C                    Am            
Seven years down and I'm still fighting
      F                           
Still swinging at smoke
      C          G               
Still fighting a ghost
                                 
                                 
[Verse 2]
C                           Am    
Why do we chase after these old horizons?
F                                
And what's gonna change
         C       G                
When you finally find 'em?
C                     Am            
Wandering lost in an American Wilderness
F                                 
Of checkout magazines
C    G                            
IMAX movie screens
F                                
Chain restaurants
C           G                     
And goddamn coffee shops
                                 
                                 
[Chorus]
C                    Am             
Give me somethin' to keep me runnin'
      F                      C   
Don't let that fire burn out
      G                           
Whoa oh oh oh
C                    Am             
Seven years down and I'm still fighting
      F                            
Still swinging at smoke
      C          G                 
Still fighting a ghost
                                 
                                 
[Bridge]
     Am                  C        
I've learned to love the pain
            F                    
To love the fight
              C                  
But am I just killing time?
   G              F                
Am I only killing time?
                                 
                                 
[Chorus]
C                    Am              
Give me somethin' to keep me runnin'
    F                            C
I'm still too young to burn out
      G                          
Whoa oh oh oh
C                    Am             
Seven years down and I'm still fighting
      F                          
Still swinging at smoke
      C                          
Still chasin' that ghost
      F                           
Still swingin' at smoke
      C          G                
Still fighting a ghost
                                 
                                 
[Outro]
C                          Am       
Now I'm not saying that my heart's not in it
F                            C     
But I could use a new, could use a new
  G        C
