D-DU-UDU
He walked  down a busy street
 Staring solely at his feet
 Clutching pictures of past lovers at his side
 Stood at the table where she sat
 And removed his hat
 In respect of her presence
Presents  her with the pictures and says
 ‘These are just ghosts that broke my heart before I met you.
 These are just ghosts that broke my heart before I met you’
Opened  up his little heart
 Unlocked the lock that kept it dark
 And read a written warning
 Saying ‘I’m still mourning
 Over ghosts
 Over ghosts
 Over ghosts
 Over ghosts that broke my heart before I met you’
Lover,  please do not
 Fall to your knees
 It’s not
 Like I believe in
 Everlasting love
He went  crazy at nineteen
 Said he’d lost all his self esteem
 And couldn’t understand why he was crying
He would  stare at empty chairs
 Think of the ghosts that once sat there
 The ghosts who broke his heart.
 All the ghosts that broke my heart
 The ghosts that broke his heart
 All the ghosts that broke my heart
 the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts
 The ghosts that broke my heart before I met you
 Lover, please do not
 Fall to your knees
 It’s not
 Like I believe in
 Everlasting love
He  says ‘I’m  so lost,
 Not at all well’
Oooh
 Oooh
 Do as though there is nothing left to be
 Turned out I’d been following him and he’d been following me
 Do as though after it was over
 We were just two lovers crying on each others shoulders
 And i said
"Lover  please do not
 Fall to your knees
 It’s not
 Like I believe in
 Everlasting love
 Lover please do not
 Fall to your knees
 It’s not
 Like I believe in
 Everlasting love

[C2]He [G]walked down a busy street
Staring solely at his feet
Clutching pictures of past lovers at his side
Stood at the table where she sat
And removed his hat
In respect of her presence

[C2]Pre[G]sents her with the pictures and says
‘These are just ghosts that broke my heart before I met you.
These are just ghosts that broke my heart before I met you’

Unlocked the lock that kept it dark
And read a written warning
Saying ‘I’m still mourning
Over ghosts
Over ghosts
Over ghosts
Over ghosts that broke my heart before I met you’

[Em]Lov[G]er, please do not
