Bye bye baby blue

I wish you could see the wicked truth

Screaming at the sun you blow into
A               G                Gb
Curled up in a grip when we were us
              Bm
Fingers in a fist like you might run
    A           G             Gb
I settle for a ghost I never knew

Superparadise I held on to

But I settle for a ghost
