[Verse]
      D                 A         
Was a ghost, here in my house, 
                     D       
that talks just like it knows 
          A
everything about
                       D         
The road, that we went down as it 
      A                     Bm 
underlies  everything I've kept, 
          D      A
that I know inside
           D                      
My mind is numb, I counterfeit my 
A                       D    
nerve.  Tell me are you sick of 
                    A
haunting me like this?
               D                   
And I R-U-S-T, rust on your version
        A                          
 of the truth, a carefully cut out 
Bm    D                   A
empty space for friends I knew

[Chorus]
D           A                    
    Another suitcase, of scar 
          D
shaped souvenirs
              A                    
That I've collected, every day that
            D
 you're not here
        A                   
Another closet, of busted up 
         Bm       D  A
skeleton   bones
                     Bm      D  A
I'm chasing off your,  ghost

[Refrain]
E                          G     
 Books stacked three stories 
                              D
high, between the pages they will 
find
            E                  G*
Pictures of you, am I in there  too?

[Verse]
                 D            
Something in the sound, of car 
           A                       
wheels at night on a straight shot 
          D                        
blacktop road, where I thought I'd 
 A
find
                    D              
The ghost I used to know, it's all 
      A                     Bm    
in my head.  I never said I want 
      D    A
to see you again
                   Bm    D        
But that ghost was me,    it's who
           A
 I used to be
                Bm       D        
I can't let him go,       I wanna 
       A
let it go

[Chorus]
D           A                    
    Another suitcase, of scar

shaped souvenirs

That I've collected, every day that
