F                 G
Tell me what you saw in me
Dm                            G
And I’ll 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
Don’t carry on carrying efforts, no no, oh oh oh oh
Dm                                   G
Somewhere there’s 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
It’s 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
Don’t carry on carrying regrets, oh no, oh oh oh oh
Dm                                  G
Somewhere there’s 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, it’s all a ghost
 
Mm-mmm
 
(instrumental)
F G Dm Em F G
 
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 haven’t carried them
Dm                                  G
Or buried them in the name of your ghost, my friend
 
F                                      G
Don’t carry on carrying efforts; Don’t 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
