   Dm A# C Dm
Hello,
          A#            C   Dm
I am the ghost of troubled Joe
             A#          C    Dm                A#
Hung by his pretty neck some eighteen months ago
                  C Dm         A#
I travelled to a mystical time zone
              C  Dm                  A#
And I missed my bed and I soon came home

      C     Dm                               A#           C
They said "there's too much caffine in your bloodstream"
       Dm                         A#
And a lack of real spice in your life"
                  C Dm                 A#
I  said "leave me alone because I'm alright dad,
 C  Dm                      A#  C
Surprised to still be on my own"

D#                      Dm
Ooh, but don't mention love
     D#                          Dm7  A# A
I'd hate the pain of the strain again

Chorus:
  Dm                       A#
A rush and a push and the land that
            C    Dm
we stand on is ours
               A#                  C Dm
It has been before, so it shall be again
                   A#              C   Dm
And people who are uglier than you and I
                A#                 C
They take what they need and just leave

Oh, but don't mention love
I'd hate the pain of the strain all over again

Chorus:
A rush and a push and the land we stand on is ours
It has been before, so why can't it be now?
And people who are weaker than you and I
They take what they want from life

D#                      Dm
Ooh, but don't mention love
D#                     Dm7 A# A
No, no, don't mention love

Chorus:
A rush and a push and the land we stand on is ours
Your youth may be gone, but you're still a good man
So phone me, phone me
So phone me, phone me, phone me

D#                   Dm
Ooh, I think I'm in love
D#                   Dm
Ooh, I think I'm in love
D#                   Dm
Ooh, I think I'm in love
D#                      Dm
Uurrgh, I think I'm in love
