Am *Riff* F Em x4
AmI'm a ghost and you all know it F Em
AmI'm singing songs and I ain't slowingF Em
AmIt was a fragile thing and I goddamn dropped itF Em
AmI picked the pieces up and put them in my pockeFt G
CAnd I ain't gonna try and win your Gheart this Ftime
CI've had space to think and I think that I've Ggrown a little Fwiser
CI'm looking for a new muse, you have Gonly made me Ftired.
CCall your bluff up on the telephone and Gjam-jar my Fblood
CThis is my loss of limb, my Gloss of Flove
CCall your bluff up on the telephone and Gjam-jar my Fblood
CThis is my loss of limb, my Gloss of Flove

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

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

That's Fprecisely how you Gwanted it
AmAnd now your love is writing words on the wall
with the meat of a Fnectarine
That she picked Gearlier that Fmorning in the Gorchard
AmAnd you are on the street, a chest of drawers free
While the sFkeleton parade marches past you
Carrying Gbird balloons
They fly Fbackwards and Gforwards
AmThe streets can be eerie, streets can be drearyF G
AmIt's as if leprosy, it landed on the moon
And it Fcast a filthy glow in the Emworld and in my room
CSo how about I play the harp and Gyou play that Fpiano
Cpull the curtains shut and Gnest like little Fsparrows
CMy limbs, my love are GloFst on you
CMy limbs, my love bGelFong to you.

FUntil we did
And our breath caught
and we Glooked up
and the Fstars, they were so Gstill
and the Fstars, they were so Gstill
Both our Fhearts, they were reGvealed
Our hFearts, they were revGealed
And you were my Cfriend G F
CThis is my loss of love, my Gloss of Flimb
You were my friend
and now
*Riff*
AmI'm a ghost and you all know itF Em
AmI'm singing songs and I ain't stoppingF Em
AmMy hair grew long so I fucking cut it F Em
Amand when you looked away
I snuck those trimmings in your locketF G
haha.
