A minorAm  *Riff*  FF  E minorEm  x4

A minorAm               FF E minorEm
I'm a ghost and you all know it
A minorAm                  FF E minorEm
I'm singing songs and I ain't slowing
A minorAm                       FF E minorEm
It was a fragile thing and I goddamn dropped it
A minorAm                       FF G+G
I picked the pieces up and put them in my pocket
C majorC                 G+G     FF
And I ain't gonna try and win your heart this time
C majorC                       G+G       FF
I've had space to think and I think that I've grown a little wiser
C majorC                  G+G      FF
I'm looking for a new muse, you have only made me tired.
C majorC                    G+G     FF
Call your bluff up on the telephone and jam-jar my blood
C majorC              G+G    FF
This is my loss of limb, my loss of love
C majorC                    G+G     FF
Call your bluff up on the telephone and jam-jar my blood
C majorC              G+G    FF
This is my loss of limb, my loss of love

*Riff*

It was so cold you could see both sets of ribs almost escaping your skin to fly south,

south until the springtime

Your hips stood out like confidence, you were naked as a newborn in the snow and you
wanted it so.

FF         G+G
That's precisely how you wanted it
A minorAm
And now your love is writing words on the wall
          FF
with the meat of a nectarine
        G+G      FF       G+G
That she picked earlier that morning in the orchard
A minorAm
And you are on the street, a chest of drawers free
      FF
While the skeleton parade marches past you
     G+G
Carrying bird balloons
     FF       G+G
They fly backwards and forwards
A minorAm                       FF  G+G
The streets can be eerie, streets can be dreary
A minorAm
It's as if leprosy, it landed on the moon
    FF             E minorEm
And it cast a filthy glow in the world and in my room

C majorC                G+G       FF
So how about I play the harp and you play that piano
C majorC             G+G        FF
pull the curtains shut and nest like little sparrows
C majorC           G+G FF
My limbs, my love are lost on you
C majorC         G+G FF
My limbs, my love belong to you.

*Riff*

We laid on either end and we couldn't quite knack it after many attempts and minutes of silence

Until we did
And our breath caught
    G+G
and we looked up
    FF          G+G
and the stars, they were so still
    FF          G+G
and the stars, they were so still
     FF          G+G
Both our hearts, they were revealed
   FF          G+G
Our hearts, they were revealed
        C majorC      G+G FF
And you were my friend

C majorC              G+G    FF
This is my loss of love, my loss of limb
You were my friend
and now

*Riff*

A minorAm               FF  E minorEm
I'm a ghost and you all know it
A minorAm                  FF  E minorEm
I'm singing songs and I ain't stopping
A minorAm                  FF  E minorEm
My hair grew long so I fucking cut it
A minorAm
and when you looked away
                    FF G+G
 I snuck those trimmings in your locket
haha.

A minorAm FF G+G x 3
