D G
Jimmy I've got it now
D G
I'd rather be dead
D G
Than take what I'm given
C D
Or eat what I'm fed
D G
Well I can't help myself
D G
Sometimes it's true
D G
But nothing came easy
C D
for me or for you
Chorus
C G
You'll be a long time in the grave
C G
And you can't live in the past
C G
Let's lay down to rest
D G
All the ghosts of Belfast
I've got my reasons
I've got my pride
My glass is half full
But it's cracked on the side
I wish I could take back
The things that I said
Never mind there's better times
Just up ahead
Chorus
You'll be a long time in the grave
And you can't live in the past
Let's lay down to rest
All the ghosts of Belfast

Maybe I've learned enough
Maybe I can reach
I wish I could practice
The things that I preach
It's hard to get on now
I've taken a belt
The hardest of all
Is to live with yourself
Chorus
You'll be a long time in the grave
And you can't live in the past
Let's lay down to rest
All the ghosts of Belfast
You'll be a long time in the grave
And you can't live in the past
Let's lay down to rest
All the ghosts of Belfast
