Am         F                    Am    G
      And I had a dream,    about my old school, 
Em    F                                                    Am G
     And she was there all pink and gold and glittering. 
                Am                F
I threw my arms around her legs, 
              Am    G                  Em      F                        Am G
Came to weeping, (came to weeping), came to weeping, (came to weeping).

[Chorus]
          Am           F
And I heard your voice as clear as day, 
Am       G               Em       F
  And you told me I should concentrate, 
Am       G
It was all so strange, 
Am   F 
 And so surreal, 
          Am              G             Em    F
That a ghost should be so practical. 

[Bridge]
          Am  G
Only if for a night 

[Verse]
And the only solution was to stand and fight, 
And my body was bruised and 
I was set alight, 
But you came over me like some holy rite, 
And although I was burning, 
You're the only light 
Only if for a night 
The grass was so green against my new clothes, 
And I did cartwheels in your honor, dancing on tiptoes 
My own secret ceremonials before the service began, 
In the graveyard, doing handstands. 

[Chorus]
          Am           F
And I heard your voice as clear as day, 
Am       G               Em       F
  And you told me I should concentrate, 
Am       G
It was all so strange, 
Am   F 
 And so surreal, 
          Am              G             Em    F
That a ghost should be so practical. 

[Verse]
Only if for a night. 
And the only solution was to stand and fight, 
And my body was bruised and 
I was set alight, 
But you came over me like some holy rite, 
And although I was burning, 
You're the only light. 
Only if for a night. 
Ooohh, 
Oooohhh, 
Woah-woah-woah. 
                                    Am G
My doe, my dear, my darling, 
                                   F
Tell me what all this sighing's about, 
    F         F              F           F
Tell me what all this sighing's about. 
                             
[Chorus]
          Am           F
And I heard your voice as clear as day, 
Am       G               Em       F
  And you told me I should concentrate, 
Am       G
It was all so strange, 
Am   F 
 And so surreal, 
          Am              G             Em    F
That a ghost should be so practical. 

[Outro]
Only if for a night. 
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaoooh. 
Only if for a night. 
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaoooh. 
Only if for a night. 
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaoooh. 
Only if for a night. 
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaoooh. 
Only if for a night. 
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaoooh. 
Only if for a night. 
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaoooh. 
Only if for a night. 
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaoooh. 
Only if for a night. 
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaoooh. 
Only if for a night
