	        G 
Late late at night 
Bm 
24-hour store 
C 
Ghosts fly up the aisles 
           G                D 
Across the shining floor 
Am 
Opening and closing 
C 
Automatic doors 

G 
Hands waving mirrors 
Bm 
Angels fly through lights 
C 
But the sleepless and lost 
           G                D 
Push their squeaking carts 
Am                              C           G 
Down the rows of clothes And see nothing at all 

G                            Bm 
No, no-one hears the singing bones 
           Em              C 
And no-one sees the crying ghosts 
             G          D 
And everyone thinks I'm alone 
G 
All alone 


          G                              
But under concrete and steel 
Bm 
Linoleum floors 
           C              G            D   
There is a fire that will never die 
Am             C          G 
A golden wheel inside the world 

G                 Bm 
A golden wheel in plastic and bows 
C                               G               D 
In particles of light that fall from the sun 
Am                 C                  G 
A river of candles tumbling in the dark 


G                            Bm 
No, no-one hears the singing bones 
           Em              C 
And no-one sees the crying ghosts 
             G          D 
And everyone thinks I'm alone 
G 
All alone
