Biography:
Hailing from Philadelphia, Jukebox the Ghost writes a fresh breed of melodic pop tunes driven by fiery rock momentum. With quirky lyrics and inventive songwriting, fans and critics have drawn parallels with the pop sensibility of Elvis Costello, the flamboyance of Queen, the wit of They Might Be Giants, and the creative rock of The Flaming Lips.
Jukebox the Ghost is a Washington, D.C.-born, Brooklyn-based three-piece rock band. The band consists of Ben Thornewill (vocals & piano), Tommy Siegel (vocals & guitar) and Jesse Kristin (drums).

[Intro]
A E C#m B E (x4)
[Verse 1]
E B E
In this country at any given time
E
There are two million empty houses
E
And one of them once was mine
E A E
Yeah there were twelve million spirits drifting
E C#m E
Through twelve million empty rooms
E A
Waving their ghostly arms at the stars
E C#m E
And howling sad songs in the light of a crescent moon
E B E C#m
Yeah they claw at the air and they scream
C#m
But they don't make a sound
A B C#m
They should've exercised their demons and their secrets
C#m A
While they were around
[Chorus]
E B A
Don't you think it's funny how quickly things can turn around
E B A E
All our lives were drifting like ghosts inside an empty house
B C#m A
Everything is falling to pieces and it's just as well
B C#m
Because every little piece of heaven brings a little piece of hell
A E C#m E (x2)
[Verse 2]
E
In my darkest hour when death is knocking at my door
E
I can feel the tug of a thousand fingers
E
But what are the ghosts here for?
A C#m E
They say: Beware, be wary
C#m E
Of secrets that you may keep
E A E
Cause if they're any indication of the sorrow it brings you
E C#m E
Then don't take your demons to sleep
E B
Then if you take a little time
C#m A
To stop and think about yourself
A B
You just might find that the
B C#m A
Direction that you're headed is closer to hell
[Chorus]
E B A
Don't you think it's funny how quickly things can turn around
E B A E
All our lives were drifting like ghosts inside an empty house
B C#m A
Everything is falling to pieces and it's just as well
B C#m
Because every little piece of heaven brings a little piece of hell
E B A (x2) B C#m A (x2)
A E A
So you might find yourself drifting
A
Like a ghost inside empty house after empty house
E
Looking for someone but lately finding not a soul to tell
