*Riff* means this: 




Am   *Riff*   F   Em   x4 


Am                              F Em 
I'm a ghost and you all know it 
Am                                   F Em 
I'm singing songs and I ain't slowing 
Am                                             F Em 
It was a fragile thing and I goddamn dropped it 
Am                                             F G 
I picked the pieces up and put them in my pocket 
C                                  G          F 
And I ain't gonna try and win your heart this time 
C                                             G              F 
I've had space to think and I think that I've grown a little wiser 
C                                    G            F 
I'm looking for a new muse, you have only made me tired. 
C                                       G          F 
Call your bluff up on the telephone and jam-jar my blood 
C                           G       F 
This is my loss of limb, my loss of love 
C                                       G          F 
Call your bluff up on the telephone and jam-jar my blood 
C                           G       F 
This is my loss of limb, my loss of love 

*Riff*

It was so cold you could see both sets of ribs almost escaping your skin to fly south, 
|-55555555-11111111-00000000-| 
|-66666666-22222222-00000000-| 
|-77777777-33333333-22222222-| 

F               G 
south until the springtime 


Your hips stood out like confidence, you were naked as a newborn in the snow and you  
wanted it so.  
|-55555555-11111111-00000000-| 
|-66666666-22222222-00000000-| 
|-77777777-33333333-22222222-| 

       F                 G 
That's precisely how you wanted it 
Am 
And now your love is writing words on the wall  
                   F 
with the meat of a nectarine 
                G            F              G 
That she picked earlier that morning in the orchard 
Am  
And you are on the street, a chest of drawers free 
           F 
While the skeleton parade marches past you 
         G 
Carrying bird balloons 
         F             G 
They fly backwards and forwards 
Am                                             F    G 
The streets can be eerie, streets can be dreary 
Am  
It's as if leprosy, it landed on the moon 
       F                         Em         
And it cast a filthy glow in the world and in my room 

C                                G             F 
So how about I play the harp and you play that piano 
C                          G                F 
pull the curtains shut and nest like little sparrows 
C                     G F 
My limbs, my love are lost on you 
C                  G F 
My limbs, my love belong to you. 

*Riff*

I remember that night in the woods  
on the human balance beam 
|-55555555-1111-0000-| 
|-66666666-2222-0000-| 
|-77777777-3333-2222-| 
Made of a long wooden board  
|-55555555--| 
|-66666666--| 
|-77777777--| 

       F                G 
with a barrel underneath 

We laid on either end and we couldn't quite knack it after many attempts and minutes of silence 
|-55555555-11111111--| 
|-66666666-22222222--| 
|-77777777-33333333--| 
F Until we did And our breath caught G and we looked up F G and the stars, they were so still F G and the stars, they were so still F G Both our hearts, they were revealed F G Our hearts, they were revealed C G F And you were my friend C G F This is my loss of love, my loss of limb You were my friend and now *Riff* Am F Em I'm a ghost and you all know it Am F Em I'm singing songs and I ain't stopping Am F Em My hair grew long so I fucking cut it Am and when you looked away F G I snuck those trimmings in your locket haha. Am F G x 3 Em F G
