Beautiful Ghosts

[Verso 1]

Em        C   B      Em
Follow me home if you dare to
Em           C   B      Em
I wouldn’t know where to lead you
Em               C   D                  G
Should I take chances when no one took chances on me?
       B                            B
So I watch from the dark, wait for my life to start
         B
With no beauty in my memory

[Chorus]

  E            A     E        A
All that I wanted was to be wanted
 E             A             B                 E
Too young to wander London streets, alone and haunted
 A            B
Born into nothing
 A                    B        A                B
At least you have something, something to cling to
 E            A                  B            E
Visions of dazzling rooms I’ll never get let into
         A             B        C#m
And the memories were lost long ago
         A             B         E
But at least you have beautiful ghosts

[Verso 2]

Continues after the ad
Em          C   B             Em
Perilous night, their voices calling
Em              C   B         Em
A flicker of light before the dawning
Em             C       D               G
Out here the wild ones are taming the fear within me
            B                            B
Scared to call them my friends and be broken again
         B
Is this hope just a mystical dream?

[Chorus]

  E            A     E         A
All that I wanted was to be wanted
 E             A             B                 E
Too young to wander London streets, alone and haunted
 A            B
Born into nothing
 A                    B        A                B
At least you have something, something to cling to
 E            A                  B            E
Visions of dazzling rooms I’ll never get let into
         A             B        C#m
And the memories were lost long ago
         A             B         E
But at least you have beautiful ghosts

[Bridge]

        D                   A
And so maybe my home isn’t what I had known
         E
What I thought it would be
       D                         A
But I feel so alive with these phantoms of night
       C#m
And I know that this life isn’t safe
                        B
But it’s wild and it’s free

[Chorus]

  E            A     E         A
All that I wanted was to be wanted
 E             A             B                 E
I'll never wander London streets alone and haunted
 A            B
Born into nothing
 A                    B        A                B
With them I have something, something to cling to
 E            A                  B            E
I never knew I'd love this world they've let me into
         A             B        C#m
And the memories were lost long ago
         A             B             E
So I'll dance with these beautiful ghosts
         A             B        C#m
And the memories were lost long ago
         A             B             E
So I'll dance with these beautiful ghosts!
