(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!
