Her  ghost is six  or so feet tall
 and the lights  in the house are dim
his  voice still echoes  through the hall
 she can't get away  from him
I  clear the couch  off and I sit
 she hangs up the phone  and then
she  says she can't  believe he quit
 but I know he'll be back again
Every  hour
on  the hour
He  will reappear  and make it clear  that he's around
It's  not your average social  call he does  it all without a sound
Her  ghost is propped  up in the hall
 he speaks no evil there
he  doesn't notice  me at all
 I find it a bit  unfair
I'm  bathed in shadow  from that wall
 I know he'll be  in the air
Every  hour
on  the hour
She'll  watch her apperition  stare her down  then pass  her by
and  I've no ammunition,  I'm the one  who's being ex.....or......cised
Every  hour
on  the hour
every  moment
all  my power
And  everywhere I turn  I turn to learn  that she's  got memories  that never burn
and  this is of concern  and I prepare  to go cause this  I know
that  though he's out of sight  he's in her mind  and in  my hair
I'm  tiring of this fight  besides its getting  me no.....where
Her  ghost makes all  of this occure
 he does it breathlessly
so  long as he's  the life in her
 he'll be the death  of me
 You can figure it out from here. Just listen for the
 strum pattern and the blah blah blah....

[Bmaj7]    [Bbm7]    [Ebm7]    [Abm7]

[Bmaj7]Her ghost is [Bbm7]six or so feet [Ebm7]tall
and the [Abm7]lights in the house are dim
[Bmaj7]his voice still [Bbm7]echoes through the [Ebm7]hall
she can't get [Abm7]away from him

[Bmaj7]    [Bbm7]    [Ebm7]    [Abm7]   [Bbm7]

[Bmaj7]I clear the c[Bbm7]ouch off and I [Ebm7]sit
she hangs up the [Abm7]phone and [Bbm7]then
[Bmaj7]she says she [Bbm7]can't believe he [Ebm7]quit
but I know he'll be [Abm7]back [Bbm7]again

[Abm]Every hour
[E]on the [C#7]hour

[B]He will rea[Bb7]ppear and make it [Ebm7]clear that [Bbm7]he's [Abm7]around [Bbm7]
[B]It's not your average [Bbm7]social call he [Ebm7]does it all with[C#m7]out    [Cmaj7]a       [B]sound

[Bmaj7]Her ghost is [Bbm7]propped up in the [Ebm7]hall
he speaks no [Abm7]evil [Bbm7]there
[Bmaj7]he doesn't [Bbm7]notice me at [Ebm7]all
I find it a [Abm7]bit un[Bbm7]fair
[Bmaj7]I'm bathed in [Bbm7]shadow from that [Ebm7]wall
I know he'll b[Abm7]e in the [Bbm7]air

[Abm]Every hour
[E]on the [C#7]hour

[B]She'll watch her appe[Bb7]rition stare her [Ebm7]down then [Bbm7]pass her [Abm7]by     [Bbm7]
[B]and I've no ammu[Bbm7]nition, I'm the [Ebm7]one who's being [C#m7]ex.....[Cmaj7]or......[B]cised

[Bmaj7]   [Bbm7]    [Ebm7]    [Abm7]

[Abm]Every hour
[E]on the hour
[Abm]every moment
[E]all my [C#7]power

[B]And everywhere I [Bb7]turn I turn to [Ebm7]learn that [Bbm7]she's got m[N.C.]emories that never burn
[B]and this is of [Bbm7]concern and I pre[Ebm7]pare to go cause [C#m7]this I [Cmaj7]know
[B]that though he's out of [Bb7]sight he's in her [Ebm7]mind and [Bbm7]in my [Abm7]hair   [Bbm7]
[B]I'm tiring of this [Bbm7]fight besides its [Ebm7]getting me [C#m7]no.....[Cmaj7]where

[Bmaj7]Her ghost makes [Bbm7]all of this oc[Ebm7]cure
he does it [Abm7]breathlessly
[Bmaj7]so long as [Bbm7]he's the life in [Ebm7]her
he'll be the [Abm7]death of me

You can figure it out from here.  Just listen for the
strum pattern and the blah blah blah....
