There's bound to be a ghost at the back of [A] your closet
[G] [A] No matter where [D] you live
There will always be a few things maybe [Em] several things
[G] That you're gonna find [D] [A] really difficult to [D] forgive

[G] You'll rise up [A] free and easy on [D] that day
float from branch to branch
[Em] Lighter than the air
[G] Just when that day is coming who [A] can say who can say?

[D] There's gonna be [A] a party when the wolf [D] comes home
