[Intro]

C#m  B  A  E
C#m  B  A  E
 
[Verse]
E
Why are you frightened - can't you see that it's you
E
That ain't no ghost - it's a reflection of you
E
Why do you turn away - an' keep it out of sight
 
[Chorus]
C#m             B       A         E
Oh - don't live up to your given roles
C#m             B            A         E
There's more inside you that you won't show
 
[Verse]
E
But you keep it hidden just like everyone
E
You're scared to show you care - it'll make you vulnerable
E
So you wear that ghost around you for disguise
 
[Chorus]
C#m            B                   A         E
But there's no need just 'cos it's all we've known
C#m            B             A           E
There's more inside you that you haven't shown
 
[Verse]
E
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
E
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
E
Just keep on walking down never ending streets
 
[Chorus]
C#m            B          A           E
One day you'll walk right out of this life
C#m             B              A      E
And then you'll wonder why you didn't try
 
[Verse]
E
To spread some loving all around
E
Old fashioned causes like that still stand
E
Gotta rid this prejudice that ties you down
 
[Chorus]
C#m        B           A          E
How do you feel at the end of the day
C#m              B           A        E
Just like you've walked over your own grave
 
[Verse]
E
So why are you frightened - can't you see that it's you
E
At the moment there's nothing - so there's nothing to lose
E
Lift up your lonely heart and walk right on through
 
[Outro]
C#m  B  A  E
