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

CHORUS

Em            C add 9
     so don't leave me
       G                      D              G major,  D/F#,  Em
 and I know you're justified
Em            C add 9
     so don't leave me
       D                        C add 9, G major  (Begin opening riff again)
'cause a part of you, in me diiiiied

(C add 9, G major) x3

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
