Young man with a stone to throw

Take a breath and just let it go

Angry man with a cross to bare

Now you seem life just isn�t fair

Oh, let it go

Cos, you wake up in happy days
Face the music

In your eyes you�ve made your bed
Chorus

Read what the papers say

Your dancing days are over
The smile on your face will never hide your shame

You can�t escape what they say
C
Your dancing days are over
Em B7 G Asus2
The ghosts you see are shouting out your name
Verse 2
Em
Oh how you danced
B7
Oh how you sang
G Asus2
There�s a feeling here that you began
Em
Oh how you stood and stared
B7
Held onto every breath
G
It seemed the world stood still
Asus2
Transfixed by every step

Oh, let it go
Am
Cos a lesser man would be your crowd
C
Captivation, lesser men will tear you down

The ghosts you see are shouting out your name

The very crowd demand it's not to blame
Am
The demi man celebrates his pain
C
So glad to be with him through your pain

Old man sings his final song

And wonders where it all went wrong
Chorus x2

Am
The ghosts you see are shouting out your name

The demi man celebrates his pain

So glad to be with us through your pain
