D#/A# Cm             Gm      G#
Oh today I'm just a drop of water
D#/A#  Cm              Gm       G#
And I'm running down a mountainside
D#/A#  Cm             Gm      G#
Come tomorrow I'll be in the ocean
D#/A#    Cm             Gm       G#
I'll be rising with the morning tide

Chorus:
G#maj7      Cm                     D#
There's a ghost upon the moor tonight
G#maj7      Cm      D#
Now it's in our house
G#maj7     Cm                         D#
When you walked into the room just then
G#maj7        Cm       A#
It's like the sun came out

I'm an atom in a sea of nothing
Looking for another to combine
Maybe we could be the start of something
Be together at the start of time

Chorus:
There's a ghost upon the moor tonight
Now it's in our house
But when you walked into the room just then
It's like the sun came out

G#maj7         Cm       A#
It's like the sun came out
Cm                      G#
It's like the sun came out
                 A#
And the day is clear
                     Fm
My voice is just a whisper
                             Gm
Louder than the screams you hear
                        G#
It's like the sun came out
A#                      Cm
It's like the sun came out
                        G#
It's like the sun came out
                        A#
It's like the sun came out
                        G#
It's like the sun came out
                        A#
It's like the sun came out
                        G#
It's like the sun came out
                        A#
It's like the sun came out
                        G#
It's like the sun came out
                        A#
It's like the sun came out
                        G#
It's like the sun came out
                        A#
It's like the sun came out
