[Verse 1]
Bb
-- The ghost in the stars is
                   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]

[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]

[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 star dust is 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
