Am
Life begins with the first glance
The first kiss and the first dance
Dm
All of us are wondering why we're here
In the crystal ballroom underneath the chandelier
Am
Wet the glass until the glasses sing
We punish our hearts 'til the heart bells ring
Dm
Cos' where we come from we're not always kind
The human soul is what love leaves behind

Chorus:
            F                    Dm
We're the ghosts of love and we haunt this place
            Am              C
We're the ghosts of love in every face
        F                Dm
In the ballroom of the crystal light
Am                     C
Everyone is here with me tonight
F     Em      Am
Every one but you

Our first chance is their last dance
Our life is shaped by another’s hands
Buttoning, unbuttoning a Coco dress
Stopping and not stopping every cold caress

Born for bliss, born for this
Every human life begins with a kiss
A kiss by every kind of possibility
And everyone is here tonight with me

Chorus

Everybody’s here with me tonight
Everybody’s here with me but you
Everybody’s here with me tonight
Everybody’s here with me but you
Everybody’s here with me tonight
Everybody’s here with me but you
Everybody’s here with me tonight
Everybody’s here with me but you

Born for bliss, born for this
Every human life begins with a kiss
