Ghost In The Town

Intro: Am


Am        G              F      
Dearest Emma, theres a ghost in 
     C
our town
 F              C                  
A ghost in the town from where you 
G
came
Am        G              F      
Dearest Emma, there are cracks 
     C
in the wall
 F              C               
And voices in the hall that can't 
   G
escape
Am        G              F      
Do you remember when we all were
     C
 young
 F              C                  
When we all were much younger than 
G
today?
Am        G              F      
And have you noticed all the 
     C
signs on the road
 F              C             
Causing all who pass to know to 
     G
please be safe?



    F             G            C 
And I won't keep quiet for the 
C/B      Am
harm we've caused

  F              G              
And I can't read wrinkles on your 
   C
face
    F             G            C 
And I don't have penance for the 
C/B      Am
things I've done
     G
I can't explain

There is a photo on the dash of our 
car
That has recently gone dark from all
 the sun
Could you imagine if our skin were 
to fall
Would the world just be appalled at 
what we've done
Dearest Emma, theres a ghost in our 
town
A ghost in the town from where you 
came
All the nights that the dogs would 
bark
I stand with no remark, a crying 
shame

Theres a crack in the center of our 
kitchen floor
And I'm curious of what it could 
destroy
As I reach my hand into the dark 
below
I hear your voice

Bridge:

Am - F  - C  - G x 4


C
And if you want me
G
Like I want you
Am
A slow escape of all that's made
F                   G
Our purest, stolen virtue
C
And if you need me
G
Like I need you
Am
Then that ghost that bore itself 
below
F                    G       
Wont bother me and, baby, won't 
            C
bother you
