Ghost

Always Gold - EP

Radical Face is the solo project of Ben Cooper (mainly of Electric President fame). Cooper is the sole member of the band, although he has enlisted the help of fellow Electric President Alex Kane, Cooper's friend Mark Hubbard and his brother Emeral. The album &quot;Ghost&quot; was originally scheduled to be released in late 2006, but was delayed to be remastered by the label (Morr Music), and it was subsequently released in March 2007.  

G                                      D
I fell asleep in a chair by the fireplace
C                          
And I woke up in the kitchen sink
G                                         D
With an umbrella full of holes atop my head and
G                                            C
I fell asleep on the table with your picture in hand
                      C
And I woke up in the cupboard
G                                      D
With some scrapes on my arms and a mouthful of hell


Em                                                   
Chains are rattling in the attic again
C
And the (?) nests in the windowsill
G
And dust had settled over everything
D
And the ceiling fan still cuts a lazy circle


Em
Got a picture on the mantlepiece
C
Of the way that I thought that we'd end up
G
But it shares no resemblance to that
D
Yeah, that shares no resemblance to that


G                                                         D
I tore the dreams from my head and tossed them in the flames
C
And the smoke smelled like my past
G                                                      D
And it stung my eyes, but I was too stubborn to blink and
G                                         C
I slept inside the piano 'til the rain was gone
C
And I woke up when I saw the sun
G                                                  D
 wiped the sleep from my eyes, yeah I knew my time had come

C                     D                    Em
We're all still a part of everything that we were
C                     D                    Em
And we'll all float along with everything ,And in turn, 
C                     D                    Em
we'll all fall apart with everything, We'll learn 
C                     D                    Em
just what things are like outside our heads


C        D            Em
And I hear them singing
C         D        Em
I hear my name
C        D   G     Em
I feel you tug my skin
C         D       G
And I was happy to fade

        A#          F              A#          F     C
And the backs of my eyes, hum with things I've never done

     A#       F                A#          F        C
Over old dead grass, was never much but we made the most

If you find one, please let me know what piece I've lost

I've come home

All my nightmares escaped my head

Bar the door, please don't let them in

You were never supposed to leave

Now my head's splitting at the seams
    A#      F       C
And I don't know if I can



Here, beneath my lungs, I feel your thumbs press into my skin again

  if you know please comment, thanks

F                  C                G         Am
we were tight knit boys brothers in more than name
          F        C                    G      C
you would kill for me and knew that I'd do the same
       F      C                   G    Am
and it cut me sharp hearing you'd gone away
               F      C
but everything goes away
                G      C
yeah everything goes away
              F               C
but I'm gonna be here 'til I'm nothing
                 G
but bones in the ground

      Am             C
I was there when you restless
F           C       G
left in the dead of night
      Am                          C
I was there when three months later
         F                                   G
you were standing in the door all beaten and tired

and I stepped aside


F C G Am
Oh...
F C G C
Oh...
F C G Am
Oh...

           F     C
everything goes away
                G     C
yeah everything goes away
              F               C
but I'm gonna be here 'til I'm nothing
                 G
but bones in the ground

so quiet down


C G Am Em F C G

        C
we were opposites at birth
      G
I was steady as a hammer
       Am                                     Em
no one worried cause they knew just where I'd be
         F
and they said you were the crooked kind
               C
that you would never have no words
                    G
but you were always gold to me
C
back when we were kids
   G
we swore we knew the future
            Am                                    Em
and how our words would take us halfway round the world
      F
but I never left this town
        C
and you never saw New York
                 G
and we ain't ever crossed the sea
         Am                C
but I am fine with where I am now
     F                C          G
this home is home and all that I need
        Am                C
but for you this place is shame
        F                                    G
you can blame me when there's no one left to blame

oh I don't mind


Am C F C G Am C F G (x2)

     F      C                     G            Am
well all my life I've never known where you've been
           F        C
there were holes in you
                G         C
the kind that I could not mend
      F         C
and I heard you say
               G         Am
right when you left that day
                F    C
does everything go away
                G     C
yeah everything goes away
              F           C
but I'm gonna be here 'til forever
        Am               G
so just call when you're around

[Intro]

Em C (x4)


[Verse 1]

            Em                 C
I've got no need for open roads
            Em                 C
Cause all I own fits on my back
          Em                      C
I see the world from rusted trains
           Em                  C
And always know I won't be back

              Am                   Em
Cause all my life is wrapped up in today
G                 C
No past or future here
                       Am
If I find my name's no good
                   Em
I just fall out of line

           C
But I miss you
                   G
But there's comin' home
                  D
There's no comin' home

With a name like mine


[Chorus]

Em               C
I still think of you
             G
But everyone knows
              D
Yeah everyone knows

If you care, let it go


[Short interlude]

Em
                                   C
I seen more places than I can name


[Verse 2]

         Em                                   C
And over time they all start to look the same
       Em                        C
But it ain't that truth we chase
             Em                        C
No, it's the promise of a better place
             Am                          Em
But all this time, I been chasin' down a lie
G                         C
And I know it for what it is
                        Am
But it beats the alternatives
                 Em
So I'll take the lie
                 C
I still miss you
                 G
There's no goin' home
                 D
There's no goin' home

With a name like mine


[Chorus]

Em                  C
I still dream of you
             G
But everyone knows
              D
Yeah everyone knows

If you can, let it go

Sleep don't visit, so I choke on sun And the days blur into one And the backs of my eyes hum with things I've never done  Sheets are swaying from an old clothesline Like a row of captured ghosts over old dead grass Was never much but we made the most Welcome home  Ships are launching from my chest Some have names but most do not If you find one, please let me know what piece I've lost  Heal the scars from off my back I don't need them anymore

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Gonna Be A Long Time

It takes a while to get used to the rhythm. In the verse the
time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.

Fast Car

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
