   Em        G          C 
I opened my eyes as sunlight broke over the marsh. 
   Em        G              C 
My lungs were filled with sulphur, I was all washed up. 
   G                 D                C 
Caught in a storm drain and into a gutter. 
   G          D         C 
I had no memory of who I was. 


 G                 C 
500 years I was a ghost for you. 
 G                 C

There's nothing left of me, 
 C                    G C      G C 
I can't move on for 500 years. 500 years.

    Em              G                   C 
I followed coquina sidewalks down into the city, 
    Em              G                          C 
The palm rats danced on the telephone wires hanging up above me. 
    G              D                C 
I knew that his black eyes were watching on me. 
    G              D                C 
I could feel the heat of the flames reaching out for me.

    Em               G 
Somewhere in the cemetery, 
    C 
I know my corpse is rotting. 
          Em                G                C 
With a cold heart in my chest and not a draw left in my breath 
     G              D                   C 
Sometimes it feels like I have always been here, 
     G              D                    C 
Sometimes it feels like I will never leave
