lyrics

Ghost of a Chance (Byrne)
We came close, but we didn’t come close enough,
We came close, but we didn’t come close enough,
We had highs but we ended up alone.

We asked for nothing, got nothing in return,
We asked for nothing, got nothing in return,
So we’ll face the music, find another song to learn.

Chorus
And all that we had was a Ghost of a Chance,
All that we had was a Ghost of a Chance,
And our love was not so bad, it just ended kinda sad.

We ran out of money, much sooner than we planned,
Ran out of money so much sooner than we planned,
And if money could buy anything I’d play another hand.

We asked for nothing, got nothing in return,
We asked for nothing, got nothing in return,
And if I could ask for anything I’d have wishes to burn.

Chorus
And all that we had was a Ghost of a Chance
All that we had was a Ghost of a Chance,
And our love was not so bad, it just ended kinda sad.
