Only If For a Night

         Am    F
         And I had a dream
     Am   G
         About my old school
     Em   F                           Am G
         And she was there all pink and gold and glittery
                Am         F
         I threw my arms around her legs
            Am    G        Em   F
         Came to weeping, came to weeping
                         Am G
         Came to weeping, came to weeping

               Am     F
         Then 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.

           Am     G
         Only if for a night
     Am         F             Am        G
         And the only solution was to stand and fight,
             Em    F
         And my body was loosened,
                        Am G
         I almost saved your life,
              Am    F
         But you came over me like some holy life,
      Am        G
         And I know the whole story,
       Em          F
         You're the only light
             Am     G
         Only if for a night

       Am       F               Am G
         The grass was so green against my new clothes,
                Em           F          Am    G
         And I did cartwheels in your honour, dancing on tiptoes
             Am     F            Am        G
         My own secret ceremonials before the service began,
              Em    F        Am  G
         In the graveyard, doing handstands.

            Am      F
         Then 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.

  Am     G
         Only if for a night


  Am          F              Am       G
         And the only solution was to stand and fight,
             Em    F
         And my body was loosened,
                        Am G
         I almost saved your life,
              Am     F
         But you came over me like some holy life,
      Am        G
         And I know the whole story,
       Em          F
         You're the only light
             Am     G
         Only if for a night
