[Am] _ _ _ [D] _ [Am] _ _ _ [C]
I'm [Em] getting tired [Am] _ [G] of watching other people [Am] go.
_ _ _ _ [C] The lights [Em] on my street never [Am] come on.
[G] And the lines [Am] over there grow.
_ _ _ _ _ [F] It's obvious now that I've been forgotten.
[Am] The hollow houses [G] and vacant lots and [F] the shattered _ windows and splintered doors.
[Am]
How long have I been here [G] all _ alone?
[F] _
_ Guess the words, guess, [Am] guess behind, guess behind, [G] guess behind.
_ [F] Settled in, in my bed, [A] but I never found it. _
[Am] And everyone else [G] saying goodbye.
_ [F] This ghost town is making a ghost of me.
[Am] This ghost [A] town is making [G] a ghost, making a ghost of [C] me.

_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
I [Em] promised [A] myself I'd [G] learn to be the one [Em] who lived.
But _ _ _ _ [C] _
no [Em] more roots to tear [Am] me down, the streets [G] are different kind [Am] of lonely.
_ _ _ _ _ [F] So I'm back to pulling garters, begging, begging.
[Am] For the love I got, don't leave [G] me here again.
I [F] have to guess the words, guess, guess [Am] behind, guess behind, [G] guess behind.
_ _ [F] Settled in, _ _ [D] never back again.
[Am] And everyone else saying [G] goodbye.
_ [F] This ghost [F] town is making a ghost of me.
_ [Am] This [A] ghost town is making a [G] ghost, making a ghost of me.
[F]
They shake me off and they ask why I bother.
[A] The [Am] answer is [G] simple, my father is [E] father.
[F] I come from a long line of people who believe [Am] _
_ _ _ [G] _ in Jesus.
[F] Here I am.
