[Verse]
Am F Am G
And I had a dream, about my old school,
Em F Am G
And she was there all pink and gold and glittering.
Am F
I threw my arms around her legs,
Am G Em F Am G
Came to weeping, (came to weeping), came to weeping, (came to weeping).
[Chorus]
Am F
And I heard your voice as clear as day,
Am G Em F
And you told me I should concentrate,
Am G
It was all so strange,
Am F
And so surreal,
Am G Em F
That a ghost should be so practical.
[Bridge]
Am G
Only if for a night
[Verse]
And the only solution was to stand and fight,
And my body was bruised and
I was set alight,
But you came over me like some holy rite,
And although I was burning,
You're the only light
Only if for a night
The grass was so green against my new clothes,
And I did cartwheels in your honor, dancing on tiptoes
My own secret ceremonials before the service began,
In the graveyard, doing handstands.
[Chorus]
Am F
And I heard your voice as clear as day,
Am G Em F
And you told me I should concentrate,
Am G
It was all so strange,
Am F
And so surreal,
Am G Em F
That a ghost should be so practical.
[Verse]
Only if for a night.
And the only solution was to stand and fight,
And my body was bruised and
I was set alight,
But you came over me like some holy rite,
And although I was burning,
You're the only light.
Only if for a night.
Ooohh,
Oooohhh,
Woah-woah-woah.
Am G
My doe, my dear, my darling,
F
Tell me what all this sighing's about,
F F F F
Tell me what all this sighing's about.
[Chorus]
Am F
And I heard your voice as clear as day,
Am G Em F
And you told me I should concentrate,
Am G
It was all so strange,
Am F
And so surreal,
Am G Em F
That a ghost should be so practical.
[Outro]
Only if for a night.
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaoooh.
Only if for a night.
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaoooh.
Only if for a night.
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaoooh.
Only if for a night.
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaoooh.
Only if for a night.
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaoooh.
Only if for a night.
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaoooh.
Only if for a night.
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaoooh.
Only if for a night.
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaoooh.
Only if for a night
