He------------llo,
I am the ghost of troubled Joe
Hung by his pretty neck some eighteen months ago
I travelled to a mystical time zone
And I missed my bed and I soon came home
VERSE I
||O----2---2-----2-----2-|----3----3-----3-----5-O||
||O-0---------0-----3----|----3----3-----3-----5-O||
They said "there's too much caffine in your bloodstream"
And a lack of real spice in your life"
I said "leave me alone because I'm alright dad,
Surprised to still be on my own"
CHORUS I

||O---8-8----8-8-(8)-(8)-|---7-7----7-7-(7)-(7)-O||-7------------|
Ooh, but don't mention love
I'd hate the pain of the strain again
VERSE II
||O----2---2-----2-----2-|----3----3-----3-----5-O||
||O-0---------0-----3----|----3----3-----3-----5-O||
A rush and a push and the land that we stand on is ours
It has been before, so it shall be again
And people who are uglier than you and I
They take what they need and just leave
CHORUS II

I'd hate the strain of the pain all over again
VERSE III
||O----2---2-----2-----2-|----3----3-----3-----5-O||
||O-0---------0-----3----|----3----3-----3-----5-O||
A rush and a push and the land that 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

||O-0---------0-----3----|----3----3-----3-----5-O||
A rush and a push and the land that we stand on is ours
You youth may be gone but you're still a young man
So phone me, phone me
So phone me, phone me, phone me

Ooh, I think I'm in love
Ooh, I think I'm in love
Ooh, I think I'm in love
Uurrgh, I think I'm in love
