[INTRO] Gm
[VERSE 1]
Gm Bb Em7b5 Dm/F
A house is made of mortar and wood
Bb C Bb C Dsus4 D
Yet sinks in the mud to decay
Gm Bb Fm6 G7sus4 G7
A house becomes a ghost in the heart
Gm D7 Gm
Of those who have gone far away
[VERSE 2]
Gm Bb Em7b5 Dm/F
A town is born of silver and stone
Bb C Bb C Dsus4 D
And beaten to sand by the tide
Gm Bb Fm6 G7sus4 G7
A town becomes a mark on the soul
Gm D7 Gm G
Of those who will cross that divide
[BRIDGE]
Em7b5 Ebmaj7 F Bb7
Come unto me, we'll lie in the grass
Em7b5 Ebmaj7 D7 Gm
We won't be ashamed, summer will pass
Em7b5 Ebmaj7 F Bb7
Felling a tree to hide from the wild
Em7b5 Ebmaj7 D7 Gm
Weaving the reeds to cover our child
[CHORUS]
Cm/F Gm6 A7 D7
Save me, the ghost in my heart
Cm/F Gm6 Am6 D7
Save me, the mark on my soul
Cm/F Gm6 A7 D7
Save me, the end of the summer
Cm/F Gm6 Bbadd9 D7
Save me, I'm not feeling whole
[VERSE 3]
Gm Bb Em7b5 Dm/F
A clan is made of marriage and blood
Bb C Bb C Dsus4 D
The journey is our only prize
Gm Bb Fm6 G7sus4 G7
And if a clan is rent into two
Gm D7 Gm
You still have her lips and his eyes
[BREAK/ORGAN SOLO]
play through VERSE 2 one time
[CHORUS] - same chords
Save me, the ghost in my heart
Save me, the mark on my soul
Save me, the end of the summer
Save me, I'm not feeling whole
[VERSE 4]
Gm Bb Em7b5 Dm/F
This place is made of water and rock
Bb C Bb C Dsus4 D
Yet burns in the pyre of the stars
Gm Bb Fm6 G7sus4 G7
My love for you is stronger than that
Gm D7 Eb* Eb/DB
I'll find you wherever you are
[END]
Eb/Bb Ebadd4 Eb/G F9sus
A house is made of wood
Eb D7 Gm Eb/Bb
The town is born of stone
Eb/G D7 Gm Cm Gm C Gm Cm Gm C Gm
A clan is made of blood
