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

[G]                              ( [Gsus4])
     There was a girl who used to live here,
 [G]    Sometimes you still can hear her [Gsus4]laugh,
 [Em]    See her p[D/F#]lanting in the g[Cadd9]arden,
 [Em]    See her so[D/F#]aking in the [Cadd9]bath!

[Em]    But you let her b[D/F#]eauty go un - n[Cadd9]oticed, [Cmaj7]
[Em]    You let her [D/F#]music go un - [Cmaj7]heard,
[Em]    You should have li[D/F#]stened when she[Cadd9] told  [Cmaj7] you,
[Em]    You should have [D/F#]hung on every [Cmaj7]word!

Now I'm a gh[G]ost, I [D/F#]haunt this house,
And [Em]wait for love to l[C]ift this shroud,
T[G]ake these withered dreams, and let them g[D]o, [Dsus4]        [D]
I'm a g[G]host, I'm [D/F#]what remains,
I w[Em]alk these halls, and cu[C]rse these chains,
[G]   And think about the things I loved the m[D]ost[Dsus4],      [D]
I'm a [Cadd9]ghost!

[Em]    If I was l[D/F#]ooking for re - d[Cadd9]emption,[Cmaj7]
[Em]    Well, I [D/F#]know it isn't [Cadd9]here,  [Cmaj7]
[Em]    And I won't [D/F#]hang around [Cadd9]forever[Cmaj7]----,
[Em]    So you can [D/F#]watch me disap -[Cmaj7] pear!

[Em]    So now I'm s[D/F#]tuck here in this [Cadd9]limbo,  [Cmaj7]
[Em]    Waiting[D/F#] for my soul's re - [Cmaj7]lease,
[Em]    Maybe a g[D/F#]arden of my[Cadd9] own some - [Cmaj7]where,
[Em]    Where I can [D/F#]find a little [Cadd9]peace!

I'm a g[G]host, I h[D/F#]aunt this house,
And [Em]wait for love to l[C]ift this shroud,
T[G]ake these withered dreams, and let them [D]go, [Dsus4]        [D]
I'm a g[G]host, I'm [D/F#]what remains,
I w[Em]alk these halls, and cu[C]rse these chains,
[G]   And think about the things I loved the m[D]ost, [Dsus4]        [D]
I'm a [Cadd9]ghost!

[Em]    It's [D/F#]much too l[C]ate for blame,
[Em]                     [D/F#]        [Cadd9]   [Cmaj7]      [Cmaj7]
    But would it have killed you to say my name-----?
