(G) ( Gsus4)
There was a girl who used to live here,
(G) (Gsus4)
Sometimes you still can hear her laugh,
(Em) (D/F#) (Cadd9)
See her planting in the garden,
(Em) (D/F#) (Cadd9)
See her soaking in the bath!
Em D/F# Cadd9 Cmaj7
But you let her beauty go un - noticed,
Em D/F# Cmaj7
You let her music go un - heard,
Em D/F# Cadd9 Cmaj7
You should have listened when she told you,
Em D/F# Cmaj7
You should have hung on every word!
G D/F#
Now I'm a ghost, I haunt this house,
Em C
And wait for love to lift this shroud,
G D Dsus4 D
Take these withered dreams, and let them go,
G D/F#
I'm a ghost, I'm what remains,
Em C
I walk these halls, and curse these chains,
G D Dsus4 D
And think about the things I loved the most,
Cadd9
I'm a ghost!
Em D/F# Cadd9 Cmaj7
If I was looking for re - demption,
Em D/F# Cadd9 Cmaj7
Well, I know it isn't here,
Em D/F# Cadd9 Cmaj7
And I won't hang around forever----,
Em D/F# Cmaj7
So you can watch me disap - pear!
Em D/F# Cadd9 Cmaj7
So now I'm stuck here in this limbo,
Em D/F# Cmaj7
Waiting for my soul's re - lease,
Em D/F# Cadd9 Cmaj7
Maybe a garden of my own some - where,
Em D/F# Cadd9
Where I can find a little peace!
G D/F#
I'm a ghost, I haunt this house,
Em C
And wait for love to lift this shroud,
G D Dsus4 D
Take these withered dreams, and let them go,
G D/F#
I'm a ghost, I'm what remains,
Em C
I walk these halls, and curse these chains,
G D Dsus4 D
And think about the things I loved the most,
Cadd9
I'm a ghost!
Em D/F# C
It's much too late for blame,
Em D/F# Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7
But would it have killed you to say my name-----?
G D Cmaj7 G D Cmaj7
I'm a ghost, I'm a ghost,
G D Cmaj7 G D Cmaj7/G Cmaj7/G Cmaj7/G
I'm a ghost, I'm a ghost! | / /_____/ / / ||
