Key: B
Introduction:
B7M Bbm7 Ebm7
Her ghost is six or so feet tall
Abm7
and the lights in the house are dim
B7M Bbm7 Ebm7
his voice still echoes through the hall
Abm7
she can't get away from him
B7M Bbm7 Ebm7
I clear the couch off and I sit
Abm7 Bbm7
she hangs up the phone and then
B7M Bbm7 Ebm7
she says she can't believe he quit
Abm7 Bbm7
but I know he'll be back again
Abm E Db7
Every hour on the hour
B Bb7 Ebm7 Bbm7 Abm7 Bbm7
He will reappear and make it clear that he's around
B Bbm7 Ebm7 Dbm7 C7M B
It's not your average social call he does it all without a sound
B7M Bbm7 Ebm7
Her ghost is propped up in the hall
Abm7 Bbm7
he speaks no evil there
B7M Bbm7 Ebm7
he doesn't notice me at all
Abm7 Bbm7
I find it a bit unfair
B7M Bbm7 Ebm7
I'm bathed in shadow from that wall
Abm7 Bbm7
I know he'll be in the air
Abm E Db7
Every hour on the hour
B Bb7 Ebm7 Bbm7 Abm7 Bbm7
She'll watch her apperition stare her down then pass her by
B Bbm7 Ebm7 Dbm7 C7M Bm
and I've no ammunition, I'm the one who's being ex or cised
Abm E
Every hour on the hour
Abm E Db7
every moment all my power
B Bb7 Ebm7 Bbm7
And everywhere I turn I turn to learn that she's got memories that never burn
B Bbm7 Ebm7 Dbm7 C7M
and this is of concern and I prepare to go cause this I know
B Bb7 Ebm7 Bbm7 Abm7 Bbm7
that though he's out of sight he's in her mind and in my hair
B Bbm7 Ebm7 Dbm7 C7M
I'm tiring of this fight besides its getting me no where
B7M Bbm7 Ebm7
Her ghost makes all of this occure
Abm7
he does it breathlessly
B7M Bbm7 Ebm7
so long as he's the life in her
Abm7
he'll be the death of me.
