[Verse 1]
Is aGll that we've become,
Just nothing but hCats and bags
We're waiting for tAmaxi cabs
So you light cigarettes
And i'm taGking drags 
In the aGir, a sea of words,
That didn't come Csoon enough 
In my miAmnd a railway station 
And a tGicket stub
[Chorus]
And it is Ceaster in the town
I can hear as they stGrike off the bell 
We're listening to sAmome old man 
Say he came back to life with a hGole in his head
And now the sCunday school is gathered Together in pGink and in blue
They're heralding angAmels for you
But not for D7me
[Bridge]
They're singing 
CGloria in excGelsis 
AmDeo dD7eo
CGloria in excGelsis
But tAmhere's no,
ThereD7's no     hGope
[Verse 2]
And i am grGateful for the things 
That you've tried to sChow to me dear
But there no arAmcadia
No alby and theres no jeGrusalem here
And underneaGth your pastures green
There's earth and there Cash 
And theres bone
And there are thAmings that dissapear
Into it and then Gthey are gone
[Chorus]
And there is liCght that hits the sky
And then it is mGidnight again 
And there is my mAmother, my father, 
And you and we are all impeGrmanent
And on the grCeen they tell their tales 
About how even the dGead can come back
I just dont beliAmeve in that 
[Bridge]
So you can D7keep on singing 
CGloria in exclGelsis 
AmDeo dD7eo
CGloria in excGelsis 
AmBut there's no,
D7There's no     hoGpe
[Outro]
TChere's no such thing 
TGhere's no such thing
TChere's no such thing
TD7here's no such thing
TChere's no such thing
TGhere's no such thing
TChere's no such thing
TD7here's no such thing as ghoGsts

[Verse 1]

Is all that we've become,

Just nothing but hats and bags

We're waiting for taxi cabs

So you light cigarettes

And i'm taking drags

In the air, a sea of words,

That didn't come soon enough

In my mind a railway station

And a ticket stub

[Chorus]

And it is easter in the town

I can hear as they strike off the bell

We're listening to some old man

Say he came back to life with a hole in his head

C G

And now the sunday school is gathered Together in pink and in blue

They're heralding angels for you

But not for me

[Bridge]

They're singing

C G

Gloria in excelsis

Am D7

Deo deo

C G

Gloria in excelsis

But there's no,

D7 G

There's no hope

[Verse 2]

And i am grateful for the things

That you've tried to show to me dear

But there no arcadia

No alby and theres no jerusalem here

And underneath your pastures green

There's earth and there ash

And theres bone

And there are things that dissapear

Into it and then they are gone

[Chorus]

And there is light that hits the sky

And then it is midnight again

And there is my mother, my father,

And you and we are all impermanent

And on the green they tell their tales

About how even the dead can come back

I just dont believe in that

[Bridge]

So you can keep on singing

C G

Gloria in exclelsis

Am D7

Deo deo

C G

Gloria in excelsis

But there's no,

D7 G

There's no hope

[Outro]

There's no such thing

D7 G

There's no such thing as ghosts
