Verse: Love, you are foolish, you're tired
Your sleeplessness makes you a liar
The city is burning, the ocean is turning
Our only chance is the lighthouse
Passage:Her lover was a sailor, she went and she waited there
The door locked from the outside
Lover never
arrived so she sings there, soft as a siren
Luring the ships off their
course, how alarming
Bm Em F# F#
We went in, we climbed up and looked out
Bm Em
The door locked from the outside
F# F# [last chord is 2 quarters instead of 3]
Three ghosts in a lighthouse
