C                 D
Tell me what you saw in me

Am                            D
And I’ll try to replicate it with a scene
Mm-mmm
C               D
If it troubles you to breathe

Am                                 D
Wait a moment; I could change the scenery

C                                   D
Don’t carry on carrying efforts, no no, oh oh oh oh

Am                                   D
Somewhere there’s a room for each of us to grow

           C                            D
And if it pleases you to leave me, just go, oh oh oh oh

Am                                 D
Stopping you would stifle your enchanting ghost
Mm-mmm

C                 D
It’s only that I meant to bring

Am                                 D
Love and liveliness to your breast on the scene
Mm-mmm
C                 D
Did you cut your hands on me?

Am                          D
Are my edges sharp? Am I a pest to feed?
(piano comes in)
C                                   D
Don’t carry on carrying regrets, oh no, oh oh oh oh

Am                                  D
Somewhere there’s a room for us to speak alone

C                                        D
And if it grieves you to stay here, just go, oh oh oh oh

Am                               Bm
For I have no spell on you, it’s all a ghost
Mm-mmm (instrumental) C D Am Bm C D
C                 D
I still have the things you gave...me

Am                              D
Four anointing oils, the paper weight you made
Mm-mmm
C                   D
For sure I haven’t carried them

Am                                  D
Or buried them in the name of your ghost, my friend

C                                      D
Don’t carry on carrying efforts; Don’t go! No oh oh oh

Am                          D
Stay with me until I sleep within your host

C                                      D
Or if it pleases you to leave me, just go, oh oh oh oh

Am                                 D
Stopping you would stifle your enchanting ghost
Mm-mmm C D Am D
