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