a really beautiful song. 3/4 timing. i just guessed the chords, the B Am bit probably
needs a change.
C
I must say, I must say,
G
That I loved you the most.
And when you went away,
C
I remembered your ghost.
I keep, I keep,
G
It right in my heart.
Cause everybody knows,
C
That ghosts like the dark.
B Am
The TV is on, and the fan swings around,
B Am
The insects are singing, 'cause the sun's going down.
B
The heat is like love, and the breeze is like kisses,
D G
I boil two eggs and it's him that I'm missing.
C
I think of you, think of you,
G [continue)
And I feel so alive.
Like berries, like a market,
Like a buzzing beehive.
I won't show it, I won't show it,
'Cause a fool I will seem.
So I'll sit on my hands,
And swim in my dreams.

C G
B Am
I pour another glass, and I wait for the rain,
B Am
I drink up the milk and start counting again.
B Am
Each day is closer to the humming monsoon,
D G
It surely returns like the flowers that bloom.
C
In a way, in a way,
G {continue}
In an old-fashioned way,
I'd rather die waiting,
Than forget his name.
When he sings, when he sings,
On the afternoon porch.
The song like shelter,
And dark like a torch.
C G
The TV is on, and the fan swings around,
The insects are singing, 'cause the sun's going down.
The heat is like love, and the breeze is like kisses,
I boil two eggs and it's him that I'm missing.
C G
La la la, la la la,
La la la la la la....
