A                E          A       D
Death has always fascinated me, but nothing could have
   E                 A
prepared us for that day
        D             E                F#m              D
Are you better off without me now that time is standing still?
    A                    E         A
I'm sorry my love that I had to go away

[Verse 2]
       A              E              A
But I followed you to work the other day
     D           E                    A
It amazes me how cruel this world can be
    D              E           F#m                D
You spend your day helping the ungrateful and the sick
    A                 E               A
But nothing you could do could revive me

[Chorus]
         A           E          F#m        D
And I'll follow you around, you don't even know
       A          E               A
'Cause I'm just a phantom in your mind
        A          E        F#m                 D
And sometimes you cry and I think that I should go
         A            E              A
But I'll follow you until it's your time

[Verse 3]
  A                E                       A
I noticed that our oldest has been getting picked on
    D                    E             A
I'm frustrated, is there nothing I can do?
   D             E        A                D
I wish I had the power to bring you all to me
   A            E                  A
Or figure out a way to get back to you

[Chorus]
         A           E          F#m        D
And I'll follow you around, you don't even know
       A          E               A
'Cause I'm just a phantom in your mind
        A          E        F#m                 D
And sometimes you cry and I think that I should go
         A            E              A
But I'll follow you until it's your time

[Verse 4]
A            E                A
Who was that gentleman at the front door?
          D             E              A
He's been coming 'round for a month or so
        D           E       F#m             D
Does he help you forget the sadness in your heart?
          A                   E                  A
Well it's breaking mine and I wish that he would go

[Verse 5]
A                     E                A
We've heard it said a million times or more
          D                E                 A
You don't know what you've got 'til it ain't there
       D               E          F#m             D
On the outside looking in, let me go back there again
         A            E               A
But I'll follow you until you meet me here

[Chorus]
A                    E          F#m        D
And I'll follow you around, you don't even know
       A          E               A
'Cause I'm just a phantom in your mind
        A         E         F#m                 D
And sometimes you cry and I think that I should go
         A            E             A
But I'll follow you until it's your time

A                    E          F#m        D
And I'll follow you around, you don't even know
       A          E               A
'Cause I'm just a phantom in your mind
        A         E         F#m                 D
And sometimes you cry and I think that I should go
         A            E             A
But I'll follow you until it's your time

[Outro]
A          E               F#m       D
I’m just a phantom in your miiiiiiiiiiiiiind
A          E               A
I’m just a phantom in your mind
