When April passes by, she thinks of saying bye
                      *B          F#
She tells her mother, I am not afraid
(E)             (F#)   (E)                   (F#)
Of dying in the bath, or swinging from up here
(E)             (F#)                       F#7
She asks her mother if she slept with strangers

Phantom was the bright way out

Of all the things her mother said
*B             F#
A whisper to her scream
(E)             (F#)
An Autumn in my green
(E)              (F#)
December, hello frost
(E)                  (F#)
Her mother would say "Dad,

F#7
She ran out in nature………

She ran out in nature………

I found the Phantom would go

Across the river and hide from all the suffering

Like the shades of trees

Take off my dress and flow into the stuff we're in

She ran out in nature

What'd she find?

She ran out in nature

Where'd she go?

She ran out in nature

Phantom light

She ran out in nature

Take her home



**G#5    F#
Yeaaaaaah!Everybody wants it!
**G#5   F#
Aaaaaaaaaaaah! Can't you see me waste it?


F#7
She ran out in nature………

She ran out in nature………

We've gotta buy our land

When they go out and take all the stuff we're in

We've got neither reachin' for the stars

And beg and keep us sufferin'

She ran out in nature

What'd she find?

She ran out in nature

Where'd she go?

She ran out in nature

Can't somebody

She ran out in nature

Take her home?



**G#5    F#
Yeaaaaaah!Everybody wants it!
**G#5   F#
Aaaaaaaaaaaah! Can't you see me waste it?


*B
I finally see a baby girl,
                                            F#
I'm sorry April, but you'll be fine ‘til then,

I'm the Phantom,

I'm the Phantom,

I'm the Phantom,
*B
And I sneak around, and you're on top,
                                     F#
A frenzy April, let me write it down

I'm the Phantom,

I'm the Phantom,

I'm the Phantom,

*B
And in the end, your mother knows,
                                F#
I'm sorry April, but a child grows

I'm the Phantom,

I'm the Phantom,

I'm the Phantom,

I Am…
