The Five Ghosts

Am G F

Am           G               F
When I was a little girl the world was small to me
Am               G                F
All the light in my life filtered softly through the trees
    Am             G                 F
The shadows in the photographs, five ghosts who followed me
      Am         G
I was only truly frightened once
     F
They called my name and said they wanted me
Em                          C
Oh, what a beautiful day to try to die
Bm                                   Am                D
Oh, for one sweet second without the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye
Em                          C
Oh, what a beautiful day to try to die
Bm                                   Am                D
Oh, for one sweet second without the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye

Am             G                F
When I grew in age and fame and travelled through the world
        Am           G         F
All the rives of the city like flags of blue unfurled
   Am                  G           F
Me pressed against the railing, me taken to a room
   Am              G             F
Me breaking in the morning, dark with a sense of coming doom
Em                          C
Oh, what a beautiful day to try to die
Bm                                   Am                D
Oh, for one sweet second without the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye
Em                          C
Oh, what a beautiful day to try to die
Bm                                   Am                D
Oh, for one sweet second without the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye

Am               G              F
Now I have grown old and all my grace and beauty gone
     Am                 G               F
Five ghosts surround my garden, I don't tell them to move on
       Am          G               F
I walk deeper into shade now, that dappled light again
  Am               G               F
I see you standing at the gate, my one and only friend
Em                          C
Oh, what a beautiful day to try to die
Bm                                   Am                D
Oh, for one sweet second without the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye
Em                          C
Oh, what a beautiful day to try to die
Bm                                   Am                D
Oh, for one sweet second without the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye
