Standard (EADGBE)

You a- -woke in a burning Fm paperhouse

from the infinite fields

of dreamless sleep

You re- -turn to Ti- -annammen

an eye- -witness in a shroud

to see them fall, feel them yield

re- -living the terror of the crowd

Chorus

Hold the whirlwind, don't Bbm let it blow

just for a moment I seemed to know

Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow

I seemed to know the ghost in you

The whisper of your scream sighed through the air

and faith-the flag is torn and frayed

inferno heat, glory in flame

love was beaten and betrayed

In every step I hear your sobbing

dare I break the shade with one caress?

Chorus

Dare I trespass to Bbm lift the veil

to Fm touch the lips so soft and frail?

Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow

I seemed to know the ghost in you

Your captive Bbm heart, the be- Fm -lief you share

with a Bbm kiss eternal, the spirits Fm of the square

C# Hold the whirlwind, don't Bbm let it blow

Fm Hope remains with the G# ghost in you

C# Hold the whirlwind, don't Bbm let it blow

I Fm seemed to know the G# ghost in you

C# don't Bbm let it blow Fm

the ghost in you

the ghost in you
