Dm G5

I clawed my way to the living room window,

Am7 Dmin

Stood there in the cold.

The last bits of my dream like figures in the distance,

A#5 A

Hard to hold.

I thought of old friends,

The ones who'd gone missing like you

Am7 Dmin

Said all their names three times.

Phantoms in the early dark,

A#5 A

Canaries in the mines.

[CHORUS]

G5 A

Ghosts and clouds

Dm C5

and nameless things.

Dm G5

Squint your eyes and hope real hard,

Am7 Dm

Maybe sprout wings
