[Verse 1]
Bb
-- The ghost in your smile's

                   Gm             Bb
Always looking for new bodies to haunt

         C                 Eb         Bb
And its been here -- and disappeared

               Bb                   Gm
It's hanging around and stay for a while

           Bb
Gradually gone

       Gm     C       Eb      Gm
It's pleasing - and freezing
[Interlude] C C [Chorus]
Eb                Dm                   C
-- Well, I wonder -- what it is you're after

Eb                 Dm                  C
-- Keeping company -- in this firce disaster

Bb                  C
-- Looked all over town

              G
Got turned around

                          Bb
To walk back through the mud

     Eb       C             Eb      C
The kind you had -- left behind you

                  Bb                       Gm
Everybody is the same in this long no-win game
Where every new blood
      C                F          Bb
Gets time to become resigned
[Interlude] C C [Chorus]
Eb              Dm                   C
-- Now I wonder -- what it is you're after

Eb                 Dm                C
-- Keeping company -- wi-ith this disaster

Eb                 Dm                C      Eb Eb
-- Why you never tried to tame your master?

Bb                            Gm
-- You just blow through the coals

 Bb               Gm
Blow through the coals

 Bb               Gm
Blow through the coals

Em                 Cm   Em                     Cm
-- Until everyone knows -- that your smile is just a ghost

                       Bb                 G           G
-- The ghost of your smile was seen on a body in the park

     Em         C
It's old news

                  Em       C
You see that it's no use

            Bb
Waiting to start

            Gm
Waiting to light

               G
Waiting until dark

   C
I told you, man

   Em        Dm
I told you
[Outro]
Eb                Dm                   C
-- Well, I wonder -- what it is you're after

Eb                 Dm              C
-- Keeping company -- with this disaster

Eb                 Dm                C
-- Why you never tried to tame your master
