[D]
[C] [G] [E]
[G] There's [D] a letter [G] on the desktop [C] that I dug out of [G] a drawer
The [D] last truce we [G] ever came to [D] from our adolescent [G] war
When [D] I start to feel [G] a fever from [C] the warm air through [G] the screen
You [D] come regular like [C] seasons, shadowing [E] my [C]
[G] dreams
[D] [G] [D]
[G] Mississippi's mighty, but [C] it starts in [G] Minnesota
[D] At a place that you [G] could walk across [D] with five steps [G] down
And I guess that's how [G] you started, like [C] a pinprick to [G] my heart
But at [D] this point you rush [G] right through me and [C] I start to drown
And [D] there's not [B] enough room in [Bm] this world for my [D] pain
Signals [Db] cross and love gets [Bm] lost and time fast makes it plain
[D] Of all my [Eb] demon spirits [Bm] I need [A] you the [C] most
I'm [G] in love with [D] your [G] ghost
[C]
[G] [D] [C]
[G] [D] [G]
Dark [D] and dangerous like [G] a secret, [C] it's whispered in [G] a hush
When [D] I wake the things [G] I dreamt about [C] you last night make [G] me blush
When [D] you kiss me [G] like a lover, when you sting me like a viper
I [D] go follow to [G] the river, [C] play your memory like a viper
[D] And I feel it [B] like a sickness [Em] how this love is doing me
[D] But I'd walk into [A] the fingers [Bm] of your fire willingly
[D] Dance the [Eb] edge of [Bm] sanity, I've never [A] been this close
[C] In [Bm] love with your [D]
ghost
[C] [Bm]
[G] [Bm] [D]
[Em] Unknowing cat girl, I never know how much [D] you
[A] It's my spirit, [Db] but I can't touch [Gb] you
[Bm] Can you hear it?
I'll cry to be [Ab] free
[G] [B] And
[Em] be [E] free [Am] as you [C]
[D] rule me
[A] [Bm] [D] Now I see your [G] face before me, I [D] would launch a [G] thousand ships
To [D] bring your heart back to [G] my island as the sand beneath me slips
[D] As I burn up [G] in your presence [C] and I know now [G] how it feels
[D] To be weakened [G] like Achilles [C] with you always at my heels
[D] My bitter pill to swallow [Bm] is the silence that [A] I feed
[D] Before it's too late, I can't swim free, [Bm] the river is too deep
Though [D] I'm baptized by your [Eb] touch, I am [Em] no worse at [A] most
In love [G] with your [D] ghost
[G] You [C] know I'm not [D] shadowing my [G] dreams
In [C] love [Bm] with your [D] ghost
[G] [C] [G] [D]
[G] [Bm] [D]
