Verse 1
G 
D 
Em 
This is
F# 
Bm 
F# 
With the graceful and grotesque
G 
D 
the morning rings,
G 
D 
I hear the garbage truck roll by,
Em 
F# 
hear the birds begin to sing a
Bm 
F# 
song of love and praise,
G 
D 
and may the happy sound
G 
be strong enough
D 
Em 
F# 
G 
to raise our spirits off the ground.
D 
F# 
Love don't stand,
G 
D 
G 
D 
Em 
ghost of a child.
F# 
Bm 
F# 
I'm on the trail of a storm
G 
D 
and everywhere I look
G 
D 
Appear the ones that life has torn
Em 
F# 
Black pages from a book
Bm 
Left to soldier on
F# 
G 
D 
No shoulder for to lean
G 
D 
May be lost without a song
Em 
A 
G 
But if your love wasn't there for me
D 
I just wouldn't stand
F# 
G 
D 
A   ghost of a  chance
G 
D 
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
G 
D 
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
G 
From where I sit
E 
A 
there's too many eyes cryin' tears
C 
G 
Too many lies, living in fear
Bb 
Gm 
D 
Wondering where these sweet dreams
A 
have all gone
E 
A 
Too many hands staring the bar
Am 
G 
In a land of highs and high fronts
Gm 
D 
All wondering why it's all gone
A 
Bm 
F# 
G 
D 
G 
D 
No, no, no
Em 
F# 
Bm 
F# 
Now as the ballet and   burlesque
G 
D 
commence to play
G 
D 
Give to me the strength to act,
Em 
A 
not look the other way
Bm 
But there's a wall outside,
F# 
G 
can't take it lying down
D 
G 
D 
Gotta look it in the eye,
Em 
A 
G 
we've got to stand our ground
D 
F# 
Love don't stand
G 
D 
G 
A ghost of a child
D 
F# 
Love don't stand
G 
D 
A ghost of a child
G 
Ooh
