_ _ _ I've been
chasing a ghost
Do you [C]
watch the [D] Ark?
_ [G] Like a record

there [D] at the start
_ [Em] Like a

to spend on [G] these meaningless gifts

[D] might all sound absurd [Em] Like raincoats to sand
[D] _
_ [G] _ haircuts to birds
[C] This song
won't mean nothing [D] to _ _ you _
[G] Because
maybe the world filled [C] with
words and [D] desires
[G] Will be all
that you need
to stay [C] right where [D] you are [Em] Just maybe that hour
[G] that we spend in the cold
[C] Will be all
[D] _
