[Intro]
Em


[Verse 1]
Em
Line by line we drew it up
Em
Had our fill and threw it up
Em
Wrote the will and tore it up
    Em
And I can't even say why
Em
All my past is shoring up
Em
Beating on my door won’t stop
Em
Couldn't lie so I made it up
    Em
And I can't even say why
Em
I can’t even say why


[Pre-Chorus]
      C                 D
And I wonder as I walk away
      C                    D
Did I ever love it all the way
      C                    D
Did I open up my heart and say it like I mean it
         C
From the end right to the start

From seeing to believing


[Chorus]
       Em      C
Oh but I saw a ghost
       D*
In the mirror coming near
             Em    C        D*
A little close for comfort tonight
                  Em        C
Ooh he said “It's easier to be alive
     D
Than hide under your pillow while
           Em      D*
While your life is passing you by”


[Verse 2]
Em
One by one they carry us
Em
Break our hearts and marry us
Em
Dig us up then bury us
    Em
And I wish I could say why
Em
All my past is sure enough
Em
Beating on my door has stopped
Em
Couldn't lie so I made it up
    Em
And I don't even know why
Em
I don't even know why


[Pre-Chorus]
      C                 D
And I wonder as I walk away
      C                    D
Did I ever love it all the way
      C                    D
Did I open up my heart and say it like I mean it
         C
From the end right to the start
                 
From seeing to believing


[Chorus]
       Em      C
Oh but I saw a ghost
       D
In the mirror coming near
             Em    C        D
A little close for comfort tonight
                  Em        C
Ooh he said “It's easier to be alive
     D
Than hide under your pillow while
           Em      D
While your life is passing you by”


[Post-Chorus]
             Em  C  D
So live your life
                 Em  C  D
Don't waste your time
              Em  C  D
Ooh live your life
                 Em  C  D
Don't waste your time


[Interlude]
Em  C  D* x2


[Bridge]
Em        C            D
  I saw a ghost in the mirror coming nearer
Em        C            D
  I saw a ghost in the mirror, in the mirror


[Outro]
   Em      C
Oh I saw a ghost
       D
In the mirror coming near
            Em     C         D
A little close for comfort tonight
           Em               C         
Ooh he said “It’s easier to be alive
     D
Than hide under your pillow while
           Em      D
While your life is passing you by”


[Outro]
             Em  C  D
So live your life
Em      C      D
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Em      C        D
Aah aah oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Em    C     D
Oh oh oh oh oh ah
