{intro}
D/F# G G/B
There's a letter on the desktop that I dug out of a drawer
D/F# G G/B
The last truce we ever came to from our adolescent war
D/F# G G/B
And I start to feel the fever from the warm air through the screen
D/F# G G6/B D9/F# G6
You come regular like seasons, shadowing my dreams
D9/F# G6 G6/B
The Mississippi's mighty, but it starts in Minnesota
D9/F# G6 G6/B
At a place that you could walk across with five steps down
D9/F# G6 G6/B
And I guess that's how you started like a pinprick to my heart
D9/F# G6
But at this point you rush right through me and I start to drown
D D#º Em7 A7
And there's not enough room in this world for my pain
D D/C# Bm7
Signals cross and love gets lost and time passed makes it plain
D D#º Em7 A7
Of all my demon spirits I need you the most
G6/B D9/F# G6
I'm in love with your ghost
G6/B D9/F# G6
I'm in love with your ghost
Dark and dangerous like a secret that gets whispered in a hush
G6/B D9/F# G6
In love with your ghost
G6/B D9/F# G6
Oo oo-oo ooooooooooooo oo-oo oooooo oo oooo
G6/B D9/F# G6
Oo oo-oo ooooooooooooo oo-oo oooooo oo oooo
Em7 A7
Unknowing captor, you'll never know how much you
D D/C# F#7/4 F#7
Pierced my spirit, but I can't touch you
Bm Bm/A E7/G# G
Can you hear it, a cry to be free
B7 Em E Am C D D/C G/B D
I'm forever under lock and key as you pass through me
Now I see your face before me, I would launch a thousand ships
G6/B D9/F# G6
In love with your ghost
G6/B D9/F# G6
In love with your ghost (shadowing my dreams)
G6/B D9/F# G6
In love with your ghost (ooooooooh)
G6/B D9/F# G6
In love with your ghost (ooooooooh)
