[Verso 1]
D E D
Take me on the ghost train
D E G D
20p and there you are
D E D
Scary in the tunnel night
A D E G D
White knuckled fingers on the safety bar
B/A A B/A A
Which way to blue skies?
B/A A B/A Fill 1
Phantoms pop from cupboard doors
B/A A B/A A
Mocking, manic laughter shrieks
B/A A B/A A
Dark promises of blood and gore
 
[Verso 2]
D E D
Interventions at every turn
A D E G D
Opportunities thrown wide and far
D E Fill 2
Journeys I might never take
D E G D
TomTom thinks he knows just where we are
B/A A B/A A B/A A B/A Fill 1
Ripples from a pebble thrown make tsunami on a foreign shore
B/A A B/A A
I would slip right off this high-rise hell
B/A A B/A A
But the elevator stops at every floor
 
[Verso 3]
D E D A
Twelve, going on sixteen
D E G D
Such a rush to grow old and wise
D E Fill 2
Endless possibilities
D E G D
Follow, soaring where the eagle flies
B/A A B/A A
Which way to blue skies?
B/A A B/A Fill 1
Mummy said don't go out alone
B/A A B/A A
I hear bad name-calling, derisory
B/A A B/A F#m
So, choose direction, and turn the stone
