Verse

C#m
It comes at night, you know
G#                                          A
The idiot sleeps and the idiot talks to the ether
          G#
To the cold night air
C#m
"This can't be right," he groans
G#
Back with his child Can I be both wild and defeated
G#
What a cross to bear

Chorus

        E
We Poor Ghosts we can be all alone
F#
Sat in the dark with one hand on the phone
     A
And as the television spills the truth
G#
He thinks "My God, I've been wrong all these years
Here's the proof"

Verse

C#m
It happened more each day
G#
Soon be turning into dust
                              A
Said the idiot, "I must be a dreamer"
G#
Looking into the skies
C#m
When the Shields form an orderly queue
E
Slowing down to take in all the views
F#
And as the idiot looks then the idiot sees
A
So many eyes staring right back at me

Chorus

        E
We Poor Ghosts we can be all alone
F#
Sat in the dark with one hand on the phone
     A
And as the television spills the truth
G#
He thinks "My God, I've been wrong all these years
Here's the proof"

One hundred alarms spun the hotels and cars

For one single tune and they're talking to you
