Ghosts Lyrics & Chords By Laura Marling

He walked down a busy street
Staring solely at his feet
Clutching pictures of past lovers at his side
Stood at the table where she sat
And removed his hat
In respect of her presence
Presents her with the pictures and says
"These are just ghosts that broke my heart before I met you
These are just ghosts that broke my heart before I met you"

Opened up his little heart
Unlocked the lock that kept it dark
And read a written warning
Saying 'I'm still mourning
Over ghosts, over ghosts, over ghosts
Over ghosts that broke my heart before I met you'

Lover, please do not
Fall to your knees
It's not like I believe in
Everlasting love

So he went crazy at nineteen
Said he'd lost all his self esteem
And couldn't understand why he was crying, crying, crying
Crying

He would stare at empty chairs
Think of the ghosts that once sat there
The ghosts that broke his heart
'Oh the ghosts that broke my heart'
The ghosts that broke his heart
'Oh the ghosts that broke my heart'
The ghosts, the ghosts, the ghosts, the ghosts, the ghosts, the ghosts
The ghosts that broke my heart before I met you

Lover, please do not
Fall to your knees
It's not like I believe in
Everlasting love

He says 'I'm so lost
Not at all well'
Ooooooooooohhh
Ooooooooooohhh

After it was done when there was nothing left to be
Turned out I'd been following him and he'd been following me
After it was done, after it was over
We were just two lovers crying on each other's shoulder and I say:

Lover, please do not
Fall to your knees
It's not like I believe in
Everlasting love

Lover, please do not
Fall to your knees
It's not like I ever believed in
Everlasting love
