[G] [E]
[G]
[D] There's 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
Then [D] I start to [G] feel a fever [C] from the warm air through [G] the screen
You [D] come regular like seasons, [C] [E] shadowing my [C] [G]
dreams
[D] And the [G] Mississippi's mighty, but [C] it starts in [G] Minnesota
[D] At a place that you [G] could walk [D] across with five steps 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 [A] 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] I'm in love [G]
with [D] your [C] boy
[G]
[D] [G]
Dark [D] and dangerous like [G] a secret, [C] it's whispered in a [G] hush
When [D] I wake the things [G] I dreamt about [C] you last night make [G] me blush
Then [D] you kiss me like [G] a lover, then you sting me like a viper
I [D] go follow to [G] the river, lay [C] your memory like a viper
[D] And I feel it like [B] a sickness, how [Em] this love is killing me
[D] But I'd walk into [A] the fingers [Bm] of your fire willingly
[D] Dance the [Eb] edge of sanity, [Bm] I've never [A] been this close
[C] In [Bm] love with [D] your [G] ghost
[C] [G] [D] [G]
[C] [D]
[Em] Unknowing captive, never [A] know how much you
Here's my spirit, but I [Gb] can't touch you
[Bm] Can you hear it?
I'll cry to be [Ab]
[G] free
[B] I'll ever unlock [Em] and keep [E] as [Am] you [C] pass [D] through [A] me
[Bm] [D] Now I see your face [G] before me, I would launch a thousand ships
To bring [D] your heart back to [G] my island as the sand beneath me slips
As [D] I burn up in [G] your presence and [C] I know now how [G] it feels
To [N] be your ghost
[G] [E]
