A G# F#m E

I had my hopes of how I would be

Dmaj7

After living in exile,

E D

After closing your eyes to me.

A G# F#m E

I even wrote scenes where I re emerged boldly,

Dmaj7

Bearded, alive and Eskimo eyed,

E D

New baby on my back.

A G# F#m E

But I didn't count the fact that I have ghosts in my mind,

Stowaways,

Dmaj7 E

Great ghosts of my life, great ghosts of old wives.

And they're howling!

A G# F#m E

So I spent my wilderness time rolling on the ground

Dmaj7

Pulling my hair and wrestling them off,

Yelling at no one,

Punching snow.

A G# F#m E

I gathered ghosts and gave them a lecture,

I bid them away,

Dmaj7

I pleaded and cried:

E D

"There's no room in my life for you, or you or your howling!

A G# F#m E

Let me undo these ropes and go on living without you,

Dmaj7

not just change where I live.

Oh go on, get!" I said.

A G# F#m E

I had my hopes, of how I would be after sending them off,

Dmaj7

After getting set free.

E D

But there's no such thing as living without their prowling.

A G# F#m E

As you can see, having descended the hill,

I still look like me,

Dmaj7

I still wallow like Phil,

E D

And forever will.

A G# F#m E

I'm teaming with ghosts and I'm still whining for wives,

Dmaj7

Bidding my brow, but now I've surrendered.

In fact I've joined in.

You can hear us howling!
