I had my hopes of how I would be
                 Dmaj7
After living in exile,
                      E            
After closing your eyes to me.

A G#          F#m          
I even wrote scenes where I re 
                 E
emerged boldly,
Bearded, alive and Eskimo eyed,
Dmaj7

                     E            D
New baby on my back.

A             G#       F#m      
But I didn't count the fact that
                       E
 I have ghosts in my mind,
E
Stowaways,
                      Dmaj7   
Great ghosts of my life, great 
                  E
ghosts of old wives.

And they're howling!

A      G#       F#m       
So I spent my wilderness time 
              E
rolling on the ground
Pulling my hair and wrestling them 
 Dmaj7
off,
            E
Yelling at no one,
               D
Punching snow.

A   G#     F#m                   
I gathered ghosts and gave them a 
  E
lecture,
E
I bid them away,
                 Dmaj7
I pleaded and cried:
             E                     
"There's no room in my life for 
                         D
you, or you or your howling!

A          G#        F#m        
Let me undo these ropes and go 
                     E
on living without you,
                         Dmaj7
not just change where I live.
              E
Oh go on, get!" I said.

A   G#     F#m                   
I had my hopes, of how I would be 
 E
after sending them off,
                   Dmaj7
After getting set free.
                       E           
But there's no such thing as living
                   D
 without their prowling.

A  G#       F#m                 
As you can see, having descended
        E
 the hill,
E
I still look like me,
               Dmaj7
I still wallow like Phil,
              E           D
And forever will.

A  G#             F#m           
I'm teaming with ghosts and I'm 
                    E
still whining for wives,
Bidding my brow, but now I've 
        Dmaj7
surrendered.
                     E
In fact I've joined in.
E
Listen close...
                   D
You can hear us howling!
