 Asus2   Fmaj7(x2) 
Asus2I saw you up there 
F7Like a city in the footlights 
Asus2Shining in the darkness 
F7I couldn’t see your eyes 
GThey all thought they knew you 
F7But nobody knew you 
GAnd I wanted no one to kF7now me too 
 Asus2   Fmaj7(x2)
I saw you out there 
In the starlight and static 
Singing like a spark 
On a mile of coiled wire 
But you looked so lonely 
Like no one was ever lonely 
And I wanted to be lonely too 
EI remember once you told me 
AmYou had a dream 
EOn a crowded street 
AmYou saw the ghost of James Dean 
CNo one could see him 
GNo one could see him 
F7And he cri . . . . .ed in his love 
I remember you were standing 
Up against a building 
Smoking like a river 
In the dark before the dawn 
When I asked you for nothing 
And you became nothing 
You were just a ghost 
And then the ghost was gone

I saw you out there

In the starlight and static

Singing like a spark

On a mile of coiled wire

But you looked so lonely

Like no one was ever lonely

And I wanted to be lonely too

I remember once you told me

You had a dream

On a crowded street

You saw the ghost of James Dean

No one could see him

And he cri . . . . .ed in his love

I remember you were standing

Up against a building

Smoking like a river

In the dark before the dawn

When I asked you for nothing

And you became nothing

You were just a ghost

And then the ghost was gone
