The Less Your Ghost I Keep

A                Em      A 
It’s easy with a tragedy 
                      Em    Em Em/G Em/B A 
Any fool can find you there 
                      Em      Em Em/G Em/B A 
I can see You in a masterpiece 
                         Em 
And the canvas that lies bare 
   Bm                 E            A 
My fingers trace the line of every bead 
       Bm               E 
And my shoulder dangles dead 
               F#m E 
from wrestling angels 


A                   Gm      F# 
Still the less Your ghost I keep 
Bm  A  E 
Day to day 
A                   Gm     F# 
Still the less Your name I speak 
Bm  A  E      C#m E  F#m 
Day to day to day to day 
         Bm      E               F   A 
There is less of You and more of me 



A                     Em          Em Em/G Em/B A 
They told me this was commonplace 
                    Em          Em Em/G Em/B A 
Your spirit like the tide 
A 
When the water’s in 
      Em           Em Em/G Em/B A 
We’re face to face 
                           Em 
But you’re leaving all the time 
        Bm                E7                 A 
And the ship is drifting aimless through the night 
        Bm             E7          F#m E 
But the crew is wide awake awaiting orders 



A                   Gm      F# 
Still the less Your ghost I keep 
Bm  A  E 
Day to day 
A                   Gm     F# 
Still the less Your name I speak 
Bm  A  E      C#m E  F#m 
Day to day to day to day 
         Bm      E               F   A 
There is less of You and more of me
