Phantom

• Intro

Intro
C  Em  C7  A7  Dm  G7  C7  Dm  G7

Verse
C         Em
Spotlight simmers on the floor
C7                            A7
And falls on the ingénue, in powder blue
       Dm
And I watch her from the wings
     G7                             C7  Dm  G7
She parodies the spring, and wilts away

C               Em
I'm dulled, I'm dancin' in the cold
C7                            A7                Dm
Like cattails in the wind, I bend, but I don't fold
                      G7                  C7  Dm  G7
I'm feeling old, and phantom-limbed, and gray

Chorus
          C                     Em
But it's love, held with dirty hands
                  C7
The lion and the lamb
               A7
Everything's a sacrifice
                 Dm           Dmmaj7
Whether you're smiling like a winner
    G7             Em   A7
Or cryin' like a clown, mmm

Bridge
    D                     F#m
So, I'm leaving you with this
                  D7
Something you can miss
                   B7
A tear before the final bow
       Em            Emmaj7
Is it everything you wanted
      A7           F#m     B7
With roses on the ground? (Oh)

Chorus
             E                      G#m
'Cause it's love, held with lonely hands
                   E7
Kicked out of the band
                 C#7
Everything's a sacrifice
                F#m           F#mmaj7
Whether you're cryin' like a winner
     B7             E7  F#m  B7
Or clapping in the stands

Outro
C  Em  C7  A7  Dm  G7  C7  Dm  G7
C  Em  C7  A7  Dm  G7  C7  Dm  G7  Gm
