Ghosts

Intro: 
            C                       E 
There's a ghost in my bedroom, it haunts me at night 
       Am           G            F/A 
I've asked him to leave, but he keeps stopping by 
 Dm                          G 
Just when I think that I'm alone 
     C        E             F/A 
It shows up again with a friend this time 
         Dm              G 
And now this is getting old 
                     Am 
I don't know what to do 
F/A         G                  C 
Metaphorically, this ghost is you. 

           C                      E 
Now this ghost in my bedroom he gives me advice 
     Am          G             F/A            
He promised one day that he'd teach me to fight  
F/A                         G 
Now when I think that I'm alone 
    C        E 
He comes up my way with a devil smile  
         F/A            G 
Singing this is now my home  
                 C 
You're my wish come true  
          F/A                E             G         C 
When you reach that golden cloud I'll be there with you 

                 F/A              C 
If there were monsters in the closet  
               E                    Am 
Well I don't think I would be surprised 
             F/A                C 
I hear them call out from my window 
               E                 G 
They try and trick me to come outside 

(I won't let you down) 
     G         C 
We talked all day 
              E                F/A                     C 
I can't tell if he's real or a made up version of her again  
  G     C                      E 
Never alone, because I've got you 
                    Am 
Get this out of my head 

-Guitar Solo- 
             G           F/A 
No I won't waste away my love 
                 C 
On to something new 
            F/A          E 
If there's only one way out 
      G             C 
I'll come back for you 

          F/A              C 
If I get stuck out there forever 
        E                   Am 
Tell everyone that I said goodbye 
               F/A             C 
You're on my lifelong list of wishes 
             E 
If I could bring you back  
F/A                   C 
We don't belong here now 
                             E                      Am           
If he stays well that just means I've got numbered days 
          F/A                Am 
Til I go back to my little world 
                E                     C 
Where it's just me and my imaginary friends 

C 
So go out and love 
        Am 
Find a new direction 

(Here's my heart, keep it for protection) 
            E            Am 
Don't get stuck on your way 
           F/A            C 
The other side's a scary place 
                          Am 
(Do your best not to be afraid) 
                         Am 
Lose it all when we run away 
                            F/A 
(Letting go of the little things you know I do) 
            C 
There's a ghost in my bedroom 
            E 
(And he's dying to meet you) 
                 Am 
God knows he's heard all about you 
               F/A 
I guess he's friendly enough 
                      C 
Though I've seen him lie 
               Am             
(He's seeking roses in your bed) 
                       F/A 
Says he won't let you down 

He will! He will! He will! 

           C                    Am F/A 
There's a ghost in my bedroom 

(He will! He will! He will!  

Will the crowd go crashing down?) 

                              Am 
Slowly slowly how could I go down 
                 F/A 
I want you to notice when I let go 

C                             Am 
Slowly slowly how could I go down? 
                F/A 
I want you to notice when I let go 

(There's a ghost in my bedroom)
