Bm            A                  D
Take what you need while there's time
Bm               A          Bm          F#m
The city will be earth in a short while
Bm            D      A            Bm
If I'm not mistaken it's been in flames
        D       A            D
You and I will escape to the seaside

Bm         A            D 
There is a storm in the distance 
Bm                  A              Bm       F#m
The wind breathing warning of its imminence 
Bm         D          A            Bm
There is a lighthouse five hundred yards down 
D       A         D 
You and I will be safe there 

Dm         Gm       A          
There is a girl who haunts that lighthouse
    Dm             Gm
She saved me I was swimming
A
So young I almost drowned
Bb        Gm    A
Under the water she sang a story
    Bb        Gm
Of losing her lover
A
She calls a warning

Bm            A               D 
Love, you are foolish, you're tired
Bm                 A           Bm  F#m 
Your sleeplessness makes you a liar
Bm          D
The city is burning
A            Bm
The ocean is turning
D        A             D
Our only chance is the lighthouse

Dm              Gm                 
Her lover was a sailor
A
She went and she waited there
Dm                       Gm
The door locked from the outside
A           Bb             Gm  
Lover never arrived so she sings there
A               Bb         Gm              A
Soft as a siren luring the ships off their course, how alarming

Dm          Gm A
We went in, we climbed up and looked out
Dm                       Gm
The door locked from the outside
A
Three ghosts in a lighthouse
