Intro:  CaddD / G / CaddD / G / CaddD

G                        CaddD
Ghost on the street today

G                         CaddD
Doorways of Jackson Square

G                       CaddD
In tinsel and tap shoes

G                           CaddD
Mardi Gras beads in her hair

G                     CaddD
Down to the graveyard

G                       CaddD
She wrung out her hands

G                     CaddD
As if he will meet her

G                G/F#
All day she stands 


Chorus:

Em7        CaddD
So don't leave me

      G                   G/F#
And I know you're justified

Em7        CaddD
So don't leave me

         Am                    CaddD  G
'Cause a part of you in me died

CaddD  G    CaddD  G    CaddD  G    CaddD


[repeat chord pattern from verse 1]

We wish ourselves beautiful
We cry in the night
And it's not the love you feared
But the fall from the height
My personal ledges
Afraid to look down
My crepe paper bridges
Enough water to drown

[Repeat Chorus]

CaddD  G    CaddD  G    CaddD  G    D


      CaddD          G
And I see the lonely souls

Em7         D
Searchin'

    CaddD                 Am
But before the heartbreak rose

                 CaddD G
Draw the curtain

CaddD  G    CaddD


[repeat chord pattern from verse 1]

I'm a ghost on the streets today
Surrounded by eyes
I feel them peer through me
And my harlequin disguise
If it makes you feel better
Come join me the while
And there's love in my open arms
There's love in my spirits' smiles

Chorus
