Am Life begins with the first glance The first kiss and the first dance Dm All of us are wondering why we're here In the crystal ballroom underneath the chandelier Am Wet the glass until the glasses sing We punish our hearts 'til the heart bells ring Dm Cos' where we come from we're not always kind The human soul is what love leaves behind Chorus: F Dm We're the ghosts of love and we haunt this place Am C We're the ghosts of love in every face F Dm In the ballroom of the crystal light Am C Everyone is here with me tonight F Em Am Every one but you Our first chance is their last dance Our life is shaped by another’s hands Buttoning, unbuttoning a Coco dress Stopping and not stopping every cold caress Born for bliss, born for this Every human life begins with a kiss A kiss by every kind of possibility And everyone is here tonight with me Chorus Everybody’s here with me tonight Everybody’s here with me but you Everybody’s here with me tonight Everybody’s here with me but you Everybody’s here with me tonight Everybody’s here with me but you Everybody’s here with me tonight Everybody’s here with me but you Born for bliss, born for this Every human life begins with a kiss You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Am  C  Dm  Em  F  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
