Soul In The Ceiling Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Want[F][Am][G][Am][F][G][Am]
[F]a nobody,
need [G]a nobody
[C]Rid of [E]thi[F]s body, rid of [D]the day[E]
Want[Am]ing some[F]body,
need[G]ing some[C]body
[E]Bring back my [F]body, [E]the life that I stray
[Am]And you [G]can't hear me,[Am]
I [G]know you don't [Am]see me
The [Bb]soul in the ceil[Am]ing,
the [F]ghost in the [E]bed
If [G]you can't feel [Am]it, [G]I hope you f[Am]eel it
Then [Bb]search in [Am]the eyes of a [E]child
Don't for[F]get me
Don't for[D]get me
Don't for[F]get me
Don't for[D]get me
[Am]Oh, how I [F]love you
Know [G]that I love [C]you
[E]These tears are from loss
[F]Bitter re [Bb]mors[E]e
Did [Am]I reje[F]ct you?
Did [G]I protect y[C]ou
if [E]those were the [F]days
when you [E]needed me [Am]most?
An[G]d you can't hear [Am]me,
I know [G]you don't [Am]see me
The [Bb]soul in the [Am]ceiling,
[F]the ghost in our bed
[E]If you[G] can't fee[Am]l it, I hop[G]e you[Am] feel it
Then [Bb]search in [Am]the eyes of a [E]child
For [F]need can blossom
into [Am]all the com[F]pensations it [Am]requires
[F]To cra[D]ve and to have
are as like as [Am]a thing in [D]its shadow
For when does a berry [F]break upon
the tongue
as sweetly [Am]as when one [F]longs to taste it?
And [Am]when is the [D]taste refracted
into so [Am]many hues [D]and saviours
of ripeness and earth?
And when [F]do our senses know anything
so utterly
as when we lack it?
[Dm]And [D]here again i[Am]s
a foreshadow[D]ing.
The world will be made [Dm]whole.
[F]For to wish for a hand
on one's hair
is all but to feel it.
So whatever [Dm]we may [D]lose,
[A]very craving gives it [D]back to us again.
[Am]Though we dream and [F]hardly know it,
[Am]longing [F]like an angel fosters us,
smooths our hair,
and [A]brings us wild strawberries.
