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
