Bm                     A     Bm
When we walked the streets together
Bm                                   A     Bm
All the faces seemed to smile back,
Bm                                           Em                     
And now the pavements have nothing to offer
D         Em                                Bm     A     Bm
    And all the faces seem to need a slap

               Bm              A   Bm
There’s an unfamiliar grip 
Bm                             A    Bm
on an unfamiliar handkerchief
Bm                                                    
Attending to the tears on cheeks 
Em                 D     Em
I wouldn’t notice 
Em                                       Bm         A   Bm
With you no matter how vicious the grief
Bm                 Em                D       Em 
Her expression was damp and crooked 
Em                                    Bm      D    C#   G  
Grabs onto my throat and won’t let go

[Chorus]
A        F#    Bm   D  C#  G
Won’t let go
A        F#    Bm   D  C#  G
Won’t let go
A        F#    Bm   D  C#  G
Won’t let go

Bm         D      C#   G  
Save me from
A        F#
The secateurs
Bm      D    C#   G  
I’ll pretend
A        F# 
I didn’t hear
Bm             D     
Can’t you see
C#                G         A        F#     
I’m the ghost in the wrong coat
Bm      D    C#   G    A    F#   Bm
Biting butter and crumbs

Bm A Bm

[Verse]
             Bm                 A   Bm
There’s a handsome maverick 
Bm                                    A     Bm
You don’t talk about to keep me calm
Bm                         Em              D   Em 
And I can't help it if I create a version
Em                            Bm      A     Bm
That pulls you back onto his arm

Bm           D     G    F#
Please don’t tell me
Bm           D     G    F#     Bm    D   G   F#
You don’t have to darling, I can sense
Bm   D   G   F#       E       D    
That he painted you a gushing sunset
C#               A                   Bm       D   G   F#
And slayed angry panthers in your defence.
 Bm     D      G     F#         E       D   
And he stands separate and ever deadly
C#                               Bm      D    C#   G 
Clings onto my throat and won’t let go

[Chorus]
A        F#    Bm   D  C#  G
Won’t let go
A        F#    Bm   D  C#  G
Won’t let go
A        F#    Bm   D  C#  G
Won’t let go

Bm
Save me from
Bm
The secateurs
Bm
I’ll pretend
Bm
I didn’t hear
Bm
Can’t you see
Bm
I’m a ghost in the wrong coat
Bm                       A   Bm
Biting butter and crumbs

[Solo:]
Bm E G A F# 

Bm        D      C#   G  
Save me from
A        F#
The secateurs

I’ll pretend

I didn’t hear

Can’t you see

I’m the ghost in the wrong coat
