  			Em                            G                              
  I've been waliking on these streets so long 
             C               G           F#m 
I don't know   where they're going to lead anymore 
Em                        G 
  But I think I must have seen a ghost 
             C               G              F#m 
I don't know   if it's my illusions that keep me alive 


A                        C                        
  I don't know what I've seen    
                 E              G 
Was it all an illusion  All a mirage gone bad  
       A               C 
Ohhhhh   I'm tired of evil 
                 E                  G 
And all that it feeds  But I don't know 


Em                            G 
   I've been drifting on this wave so long 
             C         G             F#m 
I don't know   if it's already crashed on the shore 
Em                             G 
  And I've been riding on this train so long 
             C                         G           F#m 
I can't tell   if it's you or me who's driving us in-to the ground 


A                     C 
  I don't know if I'm sane 
                          E                      G 
But there's a ghost in my heart  Who's trying to see in the dark 
       A               C 
Ohhhhh   I'm tired of people 
                      E                           G 
Who only want to be pleased  But I still want to please you 


G                     F 
  And I heard of that Japanese girl 
           Em          C 
Who jumped into the volcano 
        A                 C 
Was she trying to make it back 
Em                           F 
  Back into the womb of the world 


Em                             G 
  I've been drinking all these tears so long 
             C             G        F#m            
All I've got   left is the taste of salt in my mouth 

Em  G    
C   G   F#m 


A                         C 
  I don't know where I've been 
                      E                 G 
But I know where I'm going  To that volcano 
       A                        C 
Ohhhhh   I don't want to fall in though 
                       E                    G 
Just want to warm my bones on that fire a while 

A   C   E   G 
A   C   E   G
