G#m    |  D#m    |  G#m    |  D#m    |

G#m       D#m
 When the room is quiet
G#m  D#m             E
 The daylight almost gone
    C#m(IV)       D#m       G#m      D#m
 It seems there's something I should know
G#m      D#m
 Well, I ought to leave
G#m      D#m           E
 But the rain it never stops
          C#m(IV) D#m   G#m      D#m    |  G#m    |  D#m    |
 And I've no particular place to go

C#m(IX) C#m7         B             C#m(IX) C#m7
         Just when I think I'm winning
          B
 When I've broken every door
F#m               G#m
 The ghosts of my life
          A       F#m     G#m
 Blow wilder than before
C#m(IX) C#m7         B               C#m(IX) C#m7
         Just when I thought I could not be  stopped
        B
 When my chance came to be king
F#m               G#m
 The ghosts of my life
          A           F#m   E
 Blew wilder than the wind

G#m    |  D#m    |  G#m    |  D#m    |

G#m        D#m
 Well, I'm feeling nervous
G#m    D#m         E
 Now I find myself alone
     C#m(IV) D#m      G#m     D#m
 The simple  life's no longer there
G#m    D#m    G#m
 Once I was so sure
         D#m             E
 Now the doubt inside my mind
 C#m(IV)   D#m      G#m  D#m       |  G#m    |  D#m    |
 Comes and goes but leads nowhere

C#m(IX) C#m7         B             C#m(IX) C#m7

  Than the wind

When the room is quiet
The daylight almost gone
It seems there's something I should know
Well, I ought to leave
But the rain it never stops
And I've no particular place to go

Just when I think I'm winning
When I've broken every door
The ghosts of my life
Blow wilder than before
Just when I thought I could not be stopped
When my chance came to be king
The ghosts of my life
Blew wilder than the wind

Well, I'm feeling nervous
Now I find myself alone
The simple life's no longer there
Once I was so sure
Now the doubt inside my mind
Comes and goes, but leads nowhere

Ghosts (Japan)

This track is included because David himself said that Ghosts was the first track that indicated the new direction of his compositions after the Japan period.

Forbidden Colours

The wounds on your hands never seem to heal
I thought all I needed was to believe

Here am I, a lifetime away from you
The blood of Christ, or the beat of my heart
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes

Senseless years thunder by
Millions are willing to give their lives for you
Does nothing live on?

Learning to cope with feelings aroused in me
My hands in the soil, buried in side of myself
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes in you once again

I'll go walking in circles
While doubting the very ground beneath me
Trying to show unquestioning faith in everything
Here am I, a lifetime away from you
The blood of Christ, or a change of heart

My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes in you once again

Forbidden Colours

Vocal version of the theme of the movie "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence".
