Ghost on the street today
C add 9, G major
doorways of jackson square
C add 9, G major
in tinsel and tap shoes
C add 9, G major
mardi gras beads in her hair
C add 9, G major
'n down to the graveyard

as if he will meet her
C add 9, G major G major, D/F#, Em
all day she stands

C add 9, G major
we wish ourselves beautiful
C add 9, G major
'n we cry in the night
C add 9, G major
and it's not the love you feel
C add 9, G major
but the fall from the heights
C add 9, G major
my personal ledges
C add 9, G major
afraid to look down
C add 9, G major
my crepe paper bridges
C add 9, G major G major, D/F#, Em
and no water to drown
(Begin opening riff again)
(C add 9, G major) x3
BRIDGE
Em C add 9 G D G major, D/F#, Em
and I see the lonely souls, searchin?
Em C add 9 D
but before the heartbreak goes,
(C add 9, G major riff) x3
draw the curtain
C add 9, G major
I'm a ghost on the streets today
C add 9, G major
surrounded by eyes
C add 9, G major
I feel them peer through me
C add 9, G major
and my harlequin disguise
C add 9, G major
if it makes you feel better
C add 9, G major
come join me a while
C add 9, G major
there's love in my open arms
C add 9, G major G major, D/F#, Em
there's love in my spirit smiles
CHOURUS
