G This world is beautiful F Held within its stars G I keep it in my heart F The stars are your eyes G I loved them right from the start F A world so beautiful G F And I keep it in my heart C A# A ghosteen dances in my hand C A# Slowly twirling, twirling all around C A# A glowing circle in my hand C A# Dancing, dancing, dancing all around C A# A ghosteen dances in my hand (In my hand) C A# Slowly twirling, twirling all around (All around) C A# A ghosteen dances in my hand (In my hand) C A# Dancing, dancing, dancing all around (All around) A# Here we go C G There goes the moonlit man F C G Got a suitcase in his hand F He's moving on C Down the road G Am Things tend to fall apart starting with his heart G He kisses you lightly and he leaves Am Leaves your sleeping body G F C G F Curled and dreaming around your smile, your smile The three bears watch the TV They age a lifetime, O' Lord Mama bear holds the remote Papa bear, he just floats And baby bear, he has gone To the moon in a boat, on a boat I'm speaking about love now And how the lights of love go down You're in the back room washing his clothes Love's like that, you know, it's like a tidal flow And the past with its fierce undertow won't ever let us go Won't ever let you go If I could move the night I would And I would turn the world around if I could There's nothing wrong with loving something You can't hold in your hand You're sitting on the edge of the bed Smoking and shaking your head Well there's nothing wrong with loving things That cannot even stand Well there goes your moony man With his suitcase in his hand Well every road is lined with animals That rise from their blood and walk Well the moon won't get a wink of sleep If I stay all night and talk If I stay all night and talk You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  A#  C  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
