Verse:
Is it all that you want?
I wish I could do that again but I already know,
that the power of Christ is inside her
is too strong for me to overthrow.
And I wasn't talking about Whoopi Goldberg
when I said that I would see your ghost.
and I will follow you now to your grave somehow,
but you've always been crap as a host,
and you'd push me from pillar to post.
Chorus:
G Dsus/F#
These are the days when you will recognize
Dsus4 Em7
all the love and the loss in your eyes
Cadd9 Dsus/F#
and the memories of me at the vending machines.
Em7 Dsus4 Cadd9
does god even know what it means
G Dsus4
to be taken down in fits and starts
Cadd9
by village halls and vandal hearts?
Em7 Dsus4 Cadd9
and i wish I was your lone god for just one day
Dsus4 Em7
I would do the things I never do
Cadd9
none of which i'd owe to you
Em7 Dsus4 Cadd9
and no-one even listens to a word these people say.
Verse:
And I wish I could try that again
but I already knew that persistence is never my strong point,
this desire is too long overdue.
and I wasn't thinking I was Patrick Swayze
when I went dirty dancing with you.
And I'd follow you now to your grave somehow
but I'm not sure what good it would do.
what does that even prove?
Chorus:
G Dsus/F#
These are the days when you will recognize
Dsus4 Em7
all the love and the loss in your eyes
Cadd9 Dsus/F#
and the memories of me at the vending machines.

And now that you fear it the most,
Dsus4 Em7
I thought of you not as a ghost
Cadd9 Em7 G
now I'm hiding confessions in prose
G Dsus/F# Dsus4 Em7
none of which you'll ever alter.
G Dsus/F#
Is it all that you want,
Em7
is it everything you've got?
Dsus4
my god.

Verse:
"Slow down, slow down!"
calls the captain as his ship runs aground.
and I could swing this vessel to starboard
but there's really no point in that now.

And you hate all life's unanswered questions,
but you still hurry home to watch Lost.
