Standard (EADGBE)

 You a- -woke in a burning Fm paperhouse

 from the infinite fields

 of dreamless sleep

 You re- -turn to Ti- -annammen

 an eye- -witness in a shroud

 to see them fall, feel them yield

 re- -living the terror of the crowd

Chorus

Hold the whirlwind, don't Bbm let it blow

just for a moment I seemed to know

Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow

 I seemed to know the ghost in you

 The whisper of your scream sighed through the air

 and faith-the flag is torn and frayed

 inferno heat, glory in flame

 love was beaten and betrayed

 In every step I hear your sobbing

 dare I break the shade with one caress?

Chorus

Dare I trespass to Bbm lift the veil

 to Fm touch the lips so soft and frail?

Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow

 I seemed to know the ghost in you

Your captive Bbm heart, the be- Fm -lief you share

with a Bbm kiss eternal, the spirits Fm of the square

C# Hold the whirlwind, don't Bbm let it blow

Fm Hope remains with the G# ghost in you

C# Hold the whirlwind, don't Bbm let it blow

I Fm seemed to know the G# ghost in you

C# don't Bbm let it blow Fm

the ghost in you

the ghost in you
