Verse 1:
CEmAmGAm
I'm getting tired of watching other people go
CEmAm
The lights on my street never come o - -n
GAmRiff
And the lines are overgrown
Pre-Chorus:
F
It's obvious now that I've been forgotten
AmG
The hollow houses and vacant lots and
F
The shattered windows and splintered doors
AmG
How long have I been here all a-lone?
Chorus:
F
Here I am again the one who gets
AmG
Left behind, left behind, left behind
F
Settled in, had a plan
Dm
But I never factored in
AmG
Everyone else saying goodbye
Bridge:
F
This ghost town is making a ghost of me
AmG
This ghost town is making a ghost making a ghost of me

Verse 2:
CEmAmGAm
I promised myself I'd learn to be the one who leaves
CEmAm
With no more roots to tie me down
GAm
It's just a different kind of lonely
Pre-Chorus:
F
So I'm back to pulling arms and begging and begging
Am
For the love of God
G
Don't leave me here again
Chorus:
F
Here I am again the one who gets
AmG
Left behind, left behind, left behind
F
Settled in, had a plan
Dm
But I never factored in
AmG
Everyone else saying goodbye
Bridge:
F
This ghost town is making a ghost of me
AmG
This ghost town is making a ghost making a ghost of me
F
They shake me off and ask why I bother
Am
The answer is simple:
G
My father, his father-
F
I come from a long line of people who believe
Am
In the flowers that grow
G
In the cracks in the street
FAmG
Here I am
FAmG
Here I am

Destiny itself assembled the Crane Wives, and now they seek only to make music worthy of destiny. That, and act as silly as humanly possible.
“The Crane Wife is an old Japanese tale. While there are many variations of the tale, a common version is that a poor man finds an injured crane on his doorstep (or outside with an arrow in it), takes it in and nurses it back to health. After he releases the crane, a woman appears at his doorstep with whom he falls in love and marries.
