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
         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    |  G#m    |  D#m    |
  Blew wilder than the wind

G#m    |  D#m    |  E    |  C#m(IV)  D#m    |

  Blew wilder than the wind

  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.
