AM G C
Take what you need while there's time
AM G AM EM
The city will be earth in a short while
AM C G AM
If I'm not mistaken it's been in flames
AM C G C . . . (Ring it out)
You and I will escape to the seaside

AM G C
There is a storm in the distance
AM G AM EM
The wind breathing warning of its imminence
AM C G AM
There is a lighthouse five hundred yards down
C G C
You and I will be safe there

BM7 F#7 E AM
There is a girl who haunts that lighthouse
BM7 F#7
She saved me, I was swimming
E AM
So young I almost drowned
BM7 F#7 E AM
Under the water she sang a story
BM7 F#7
Of losing her lover
E AM
She calls a warning

AM G C
Love, you are foolish, you're tired
AM G AM EM
Your sleeplessness makes you a liar
AM C
The city is burning
G AM
The ocean is turning
C G C
Our only chance is the lighthouse

BM7 F#7
Her lover was a sailor
E AM
She went and she waited there
BM7 F#7
The door locked from the outside
E AM BM7 F#7
Lover never arrived so she sings there
E AM BM7
Soft as a siren luring the ships off their course, how alarming

BM7 F#7 E AM
We went in, we climbed up and looked out
BM7 F#7
The door locked from the outside
E AM
Three ghosts in a lighthouse
