I'm a ghost and you all [A] know it [G#m]
[C#m] I'm singing songs and I ain't [A] slowing
[B] It [C#m] was a gradual thing and I [A] goddamn dropped it
[G#m]
I [C#m] picked the pieces up and put them in my [A] pocket
[B] I [E]
ain't gonna try [B] to win your [D#] heart this time
[E] That's waste of thinking I think [G#m] that I'm going [A] a little [E] wiser
I'm looking for a new muse you [B] have only made [A] me tired
[E]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Call your bluff up on the [B] telephone and jam jam [A] my blood
[E]
This is my last to live [B] my [A] last in [B] love

It was so cold you could see both sides [C#m] of your ribs
Almost escaping your skin [G#m] to fly south
[A] South into [B] the [C#] springtime your hips stood out
Like confidence you were [A] naked as a newborn in the snow
But [G#m] you wanted it so
That's [A] precisely how [B] you want it
[C#m] Now [D#] your love is right it was [A] on the wall
With the meat of a nectarine that she [B] picked earlier
[A] That morning [B] in New York
[C#] Drowning you are on the street a chest that draws [A] free
While the skeleton parade marches past you [B]
carrying bird balloons
The [A] fire that puts [B] an end for [C#m] words
Those trees can be [A] eerie, trees can be dreary
[B] It's
[C#m] as if leprosy had landed on the moon
[A] And it cast a filthy glow in [G#m] the world
And in my room [C#m] it's as if
Leprosy has landed on the moon
And [A] it cast a filthy glow in [G#] the world
And in [C#m] my room it's as if
Leprosy had landed on the [A] moon
And it cast a filthy [G#m] glow in the world
And in my [C#m] room it's as if
Leprosy had landed on the moon
And [A] it cast a filthy glow [G#m] in the world
In my room [E] so
How fast I play the [G#m] harp and you play that [A] piano
[E] Pull the curtain [G#m] shut and it's like [A] little Sparrow's
[E] My [C#m] limbs, my [B] love are
[A] lost on you.
[E] [Bm] My limbs, my love belong [A]
to you.

[A] [G#m]
[C#] I remember that night in the woods
[G#m] on the hidden [F#m] balance [C#] beam
made of a long wooden [A] board with a barrel underneath.
[B] [C#] We laid another in and we couldn't quite make [A] it
after many attempts and minutes of silence
[G#m] until we did and [A] our breath caught [B] and we looked up
[A] and the stars, they were [B] so still
and [A] the stars, they were [B] so still
and both [A] our hearts, they were [B] red
[E] our [A]
hearts, they were [B] revealed
and you were [E] my friend
[B] [A]
you were [E] my friend
