Am G C F
Am G C

[Chorus]
            Am*   G*           C*         F*
And I could wait around just a little bit longer
        Am*         G*          C*          F*
I’ll be gone by the time of the end of this song
      Am       G          C       F
There goes the ghost of a girl I adored
   Am G
Oh Magdalene


Am G C F  x2


[Verse 1]
C                 Am
Ok, I guess I’m a fool for hire
  G              F
I know, I know I saw all the signs
   C                     Am
It never is enough to be this close to love
    G                                F
And if we keep pretending then we’re wasting our lives
   Am       G        C            F
So keep the shirts I left at your place
           Am             G          C           F
They’ll do nothing for me now except dress me in pain
  Am      G         C            F
I know, I know that love is a game
       Am     G         C             F
But if I keep losing, I don’t want to play


[Chorus]
            Am    G            C          F
And I could wait around just a little bit longer
        Am          G           C           F
I’ll be gone by the time of the end of this song
      Am       G          C       F
There goes the ghost of a girl I adored
   Am G    C  F
Oh Magdalene

[Verse 2]
            C                G
And I could wait around just playing my part
F               C       G          C
Laughing at the tattoos left on my heart
       F       C            G           Am
I’m no good at good, I’m no good at goodbye
   F  C       G        C
Oh Magdalene, why even try

[Melodica Solo]
F C G C X4

[Chorus and Outro]
            Am*   G*           C*         F*
And I could wait around just a little bit longer
        Am*         G*          C*          F*
I’ll be fine by the time of the end of this song
   Am*          G*         C*      F
So long, to the ghost of a girl I adored
   Am G    C F
Oh Magdalene
   Am G    C F
Oh Magdalene
   Am G    C F
Oh Magdalene
   Am G    C F
Oh Magdalene

            Am    G            C          F
And I could wait around just a little bit longer
        Am          G           C           F
I’ll be gone by the time of the end of this song
      Am       G          C       F
There goes the ghost of a girl I adored
   Am G    C
Oh Magdalene
