G
Is all that we've become,
                  C  
Just nothing but hats and bags
                   Am  
We're waiting for taxi cabs
 
So you light cigarettes
          G
And i'm taking drags 

        G
In the air, a sea of words,
                C
That didn't come soon enough 
        Am
In my mind a railway station 
       G     
And a ticket stub


[Chorus]

          C
And it is easter in the town
                     G
I can hear as they strike off the bell 
                    Am
We're listening to some old man 
                                 G
Say he came back to life with a hole in his head

             C                                     G
And now the sunday school is gathered Together in pink and in blue
                     Am
They're heralding angels for you
            D7
But not for me


[Bridge]

They're singing 
C            G
Gloria in excelsis 
Am   D7
Deo deo

C            G
Gloria in excelsis
     Am         
But there's no,
     D7         G
There's no     hope


[Verse 2]

           G
And i am grateful for the things 
                      C
That you've tried to show to me dear
               Am
But there no arcadia
                        G
No alby and theres no jerusalem here

            G
And underneath your pastures green
                        C
There's earth and there ash 

And theres bone
                Am
And there are things that dissapear
                G
Into it and then they are gone


[Chorus]

               C
And there is light that hits the sky
                G
And then it is midnight again 
                 Am
And there is my mother, my father, 
                           G
And you and we are all impermanent

             C                   
And on the green they tell their tales 
                    G
About how even the dead can come back
                Am
I just dont believe in that 
 

[Bridge]

          D7
So you can keep on singing 

C             G
Gloria in exclelsis 
Am   D7
Deo deo

C            G
Gloria in excelsis 
Am
But there's no,
D7               G
There's no     hope


[Outro]

 C                
There's no such thing 
 G              
There's no such thing
 C
There's no such thing
 D7
There's no such thing
 C
There's no such thing
 G
There's no such thing
 C
There's no such thing
 D7                         G
There's no such thing as ghosts
