Living With The Ghost

[Intro] G5  Bm  Em  C5
        G5  Bm  Em  D5

[First Part]

G5                Bm
Marry me to the blue sky
C5
Bury me in that long last drop of 
hard rain
Em                      Bm
Meet me where they stop time
D5
That's you to me on the shovel 
that's digging this grave
Bm
Till I can waltz on a moonbeam
C5
Till I can find a way to return all 
tears into wine
G5                            Bm
I'll hitch my ride to a day dream
D5                                
Can't unkiss the lips that love is
           C5
 leaving behind

[Chorus]

                         G5
I ain't living with the ghost
                        C5
No future living in the past
                                Em
I've seen that hate has done to hop
                         D5
Tomorrow wasn't built to last
                         C5
I ain't living with the ghost
                            Em
How can I scream, I'm scared to 
breathe

                                 
I wrote each word, you gave the 

But we were fire and gasoline
                         C5
I ain't living with the ghost

[Second Part]

G5                         Bm
I set my sails over wheat fields
C5
Rode waves of amber let a new sun 
shine on my face
Em                             
I dropped the sword, put down my 
    Bm
shield
D5
I left your scars for the stars 
guiding my way

Bm
I traded hurting for healing 

C5                                
I must admit that I was reeling 
                   G5
now I'm feeling just fine

                         Bm
I traded nightmares for dreaming 

D5                                
Go tell your shadows that I got 
   C5
out alive

[Chorus]

                         G5
I ain't living with the ghost
                        C5
No future living in the past
                                Em
I've seen what hurt has done to hope
 I found the tree I cut the rope
                         D5
Tomorrow wasn't built to last
                         C5
I ain't living with the ghost
                            Em
How can I scream, I'm scared to 
breathe

                                 
I wrote each word, you gave the 

But we were fire and gasoline
                         C5
I ain't living with the ghost

[Bridge]

     C5
Last night I had this dream

        Am                        
I saw a man wash his feet in the 
   D
I|church holy water 

    C
He worked up to his knees
         Em                        
From his arms to his neck said I'm 
D
over in my head
         C
He was crying trying to get some 
relief
          Am
Lord, I'm just trying to get some 
relief
             C
I had this dream
              G  C  Em  D
That man was me

[Chorus]

                         G5
I ain't living with the ghost
                        C5
No future living in the past
                                Em
I've seen what hurt has done to hope
 I found the tree I cut the rope
                         D5
Tomorrow wasn't built to last
                         C5
I ain't living with the ghost
                            Em
How can I scream, I'm scared to 
breathe

                                 
I wrote each word, you gave the 

But we were fire and gasoline
                             C5
Now I ain't living with the ghost
