  Am                 Em
I love it all, these games we play

  Am                 Em
I close my eyes, you run away

    Am                  Em
I'm sure I asked you to stay

    F               Dm
But now you're gone

Today I feel the grey pulse in my head

I turn off the lights and crawl into bed

  Am                       Em
I try to think of sunshine

                 F                           Dm
But my body goes wet with the first crash of thunder
[Chorus]
Am      F     Am    F

Oh the kiss, so alcoholic and slow

Am                           Em
Arranging me for Saturday, I thought you would know

       F                  Dm
That I always sleep alone
[Chorus]
Am      F     Am    F
I don't think I can love

That's for sure

We can go up there in summer and dance all night
[Bridge]
     Em                          Am
Your sister started talking at a minute after ten

   Em                               Am
So everyone jumped up and then fell over again

   Em                          Am
In April you can join them and stare at me

        F              Dm
At the ghost from your past

The ghost from your past

Am              Em
Ghost from your past

Am              Em
Ghost from your past
F Dm [Chorus]
Am      F     Am    F

Anyone but you dear, that's for sure
