F G
tell me what you saw in me
Dm G
and ill try to replicate it with a scene

mm – mmm
F G
if it troubles you to breathe
Dm G
wait a moment; i could change the scenery

F G
dont carry on carrying efforts , no no , oh oh oh oh
Dm G
somewhere theres a room for each of us to grow
F G
and if it pleases you to leave me , just go , oh oh oh oh
Dm G
stopping you would stifle your enchanting ghost

mm – mmm

F G
its only that i meant to bring
Dm G
love and liveliness to your breast on the scene

mm – mmm

F G
did you cut your hands on me?
Dm G
are my edges sharp? Am i a pest to feed?

( piano comes in )
F G
dont carry on carrying regrets , oh no , oh oh oh oh
Dm G
somewhere theres a room for us to speak alone
F G
and if it grieves you to stay here , just go , oh oh oh oh
Dm Em
for i have no spell on you , its all a ghost

mm – mmm

F G
i still have the things you gave . . . me
Dm G
four anointing oils , the paper weight you made

mm – mmm

F G
for sure i havent carried them
Dm G
or buried them in the name of your ghost , my friend

F G
dont carry on carrying efforts; dont go! no oh oh oh
Dm G
stay with me until i sleep within your host
F G
or if it pleases you to leave me , just go , oh oh oh oh
Dm G
stopping you would stifle your enchanting ghost

mm – mmm
