I still close the window
Bm                 G
Shut out the city's roar
Bm                             A
I swear I heard you breathing
              G
The chest will rise and fall
Bm                A
And there you lay beside me
Bm             G
The way you'd always been
       Bm            A
And my broken heart shook me away
                  G
From just another empty dream

Bm                  A
I saw you pass the rooftops
Bm            G
Your hair was raven-black
Bm
I held you close
    A              G
And felt again thе beating of your heart
 Bm
But I know that I'm alone now
 A
And These Are ghosts I see
  Bm
Thеy greet me like a fugitive
A                G
And tell me that love will always be
