Db Bbmin Gb Ab Ain’t it funny The things we remember The ones we imagine And those we choose to forget She was fourteen When she was born Yeah, she must have been There’s too much space before Bbmin Db/F Gb Ab Only stories Her siblings told When she used to talk to them Before the truth took hold with Bbmin Faug/A Db/Ab Eb More than I could ever tell We were a sweet thing In the first place Before I could pronounce her name Or recognize her sad face Then her depth grew Her dark beauty too A blue moonlight On a shipwreck Off of Gaspesie More than I could ever tell Bbmin Db/F Gb Ab It’s a retroactive romance when you’re a sucker for broken hearts See I’m in love with new beginnings so I put an end to things I start I’d been hypnotized by her pathos As she dangled like a pocket watch She had everything I wanted But it was everything I got She danced like a moth in mid-October While I glowed like a wood-smoke cabin And spoke of cornucopias, a warmth and the fantasy of home But I couldn’t house her urgent wings Barred her scars and frequent faltering At the start those sparks were reeling My breath stealing Bbmin Ab7/C Db Eb But now I write from the ghost of a feeling In dark appealing for art to heal me I’m smarter than that I don’t pray but I’m kneeling Revealing stark weakness Crude heart I’m concealing You reap what you sow See love grows but lies rot And I wish I could be an honest man But I’m not More than I could ever tell

D Bmin G Her face has now departed To southern skies she’s cast her eyes And left me where I started Broken hearted Shades of grey grow darker The memories evoke the dreams As the air turns sharper Days are slowly folding Diminishing steadily The empty space I’m holding onto What we’ve grown we’ll gather Row by row D Bmin C Reap the seeds we scattered long ago D C G Imperceptible D C And yet inevitable Seems like a moment ago her light was lingering Now she’s turned on her side leaving me out in the rain I reflected her mood like the moon But like her love the sun’s begun to wane A precipitous fall, heeding gravity’s call It’s almost all I can take but why deny it in vain Every season will end and every flower bend The irrefutable ache will surely crumble and mend (Chorus) F A G D F A C D F A G D F G (Chorus)

Dsus2 Fmaj7 G6 What if the clothes came off our lovers And we could not see beyond their skin What if the space between the covers Is not the best place to begin What if you taste the changing weather Leaves a coldness on your tongue What if we thought that we were clever But we were just children on the run G7 F6 G7 D Take this time to sit with me Let’s crack this wine and make believe Even if it’s just to be polite G7 E7 Ebmaj7 D If I don’t know who you are tomorrow Then at least I’ll know tonight What if our nights are glowing embers That cannot be fed by lonely fear What if the skin that we had rendered Left only sparks that weren’t sincere (Chorus) D G If I can’t find the sun then I’ll walk all night Said the summer is done but I can still love the moonlight So I take my leave and I set my course I sang my verse but I forgot the chorus Sometimes I think that it came too soon Said the end of an era took the space of an afternoon I swear to you now that she’s got the same eyes May not know her tomorrow but at least I’ll know her tonight Bb C D I’ll know her tonight

about

Locomotive Ghost Calgary, Alberta

Locomotive Ghost plays their own stories, sharing desperate moments, celebrating mended hearts, and owning up to mistakes. The group’s earnest performance and shared male/female vocals have been likened to The Head and the Heart, while their pop sensibilities have yielded comparisons to acts like Of Monsters and Men, and The Lumineers. ... more
