BbG
you knew that they were out there by the signs they'd left behind
Eb
on old abandoned buildings just some xs and some lines
BbG
half circles in the concrete crescents in the snow
EbEbm
you could find the little beacons almost everywhere you'd go
DmGCmEb
only people who were sick enough knew how to read them right
BbFEb
i got sick when I was seventeen and I'd hunt down signs all night
BbG
you'd listen for the voices in the generator's hum
EbEbm
hang out behind the power plant and wait for them to come
BbG
hints about their mission in the rustling of the surf
EbEbm
but no secrets can be kept from you if your faith is strong enough
DmGbBmEbEbm
only people who've been sick too long can hold on to the hope
BbFEbBb
but some friendly ghost is listening to the prayers they learned to say at the slack end of the rope
Eb-Bb-Eb-Ebm-Bb-E-Bb
