CAPO 4
[Verse 1]
  EmCan you walk on the Cwater with I, Gyou and DI?
"Because your Emblood's running cold" Csaid the familiar, Gtrue to Dlife
  EmCan you walk on the Cwater with I, Gyou and DI?
Or keep your Emeyes on the road and Clive there familiar, Gwithout you and DI
  EmIt glows with Cgates of gold, Gtrue to lDife
[Chorus]
And our Emlove is a ghost that the Gothers can't seBme
It's a Adanger
Every Emshade of us you fade Gdown to keeBmp
Them in the Adark on who we are
(Oh what you do to me)
EmGonna be the Gdeath of mBme
It's a Adanger
EmCause our love is a ghost that the Gothers can't seeBm  A  Em  
[Verse 2]
   EmWe took a walk to the Csummit at night, Gyou and DI
To burn a Emhole in the old Cgrip of the familiar, Gyou and DI
  EmAnd the dark was Copening wide, Gdo or Ddie
   EmUnder a Cmask of a million Gruling Deyes
[Chorus]
And our Emlove is a ghost that the Gothers can't seBme
It's a Adanger
Every Emshade of us you fade Gdown to keeBmp
Them in the Adark on who we are
(Oh what you do to me)
EmGonna be the Gdeath of mBme
It's a Adanger
EmCause our love is a ghost that the Gothers can't seeBm  A  Em

"Because your blood's running cold" said the familiar, true to life

And our love is a ghost that the others can't see

It's a danger

Every shade of us you fade down to keep

Them in the dark on who we are

Gonna be the death of me

It's a danger

We took a walk to the summit at night, you and I

Under a mask of a million ruling eyes

[Chorus]

And our love is a ghost that the others can't see

It's a danger

Every shade of us you fade down to keep

Gonna be the death of me

It's a danger
