Ghost Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 FCell in love in Ghigh school

 With a Cbrown haired, green eyed Ggirl

 I walked her home most Em7everyday

 Held her Chand, I held the world

 We made our plan to Grun away

 I couldn't Cwait to share her Glife

 We started countin Em7down the days

 She couldn't Cwait to be my wifeG

I got a job and bought a car

 I turned C18 that Gspring

 By summer had my Em7own place

 And I bCought my baby's ring

 Fell in with the Gwrong crowd

 Breakin lCaws, I broke her Gheart

 By autumn was in Em7handcuffs

 Baby's Ccryin out in her front yardG

 And tDhat's what hurt the most

 I Em7saw it in her greenC eyes

 She had seen a Gghost

 My mama saw me Gevery week

 Tried her hCardest not to Gcry

 She told me that she Em7loved me

 DisappCointment in her eyes

 I said, "Mama, I Glove you too

 And I'm gonna Cmake you proud one Gday"

 A month before I Em7got out

 They told me Cmama passed awayG

 And tDhat's what hurt the most

 I Em7saw it in herC eyes, her son was a Gghost

 I Dsus4hate this life I chDose

Em7Long before she Cdied her son was a Gghost

 Now I got myG freedom

 But it Cfeels like emptinGess

 In front of the Em7apartment

 Where your Csister says you live

 And there's anoGther man, who fCills my empty Gshoes

 And darlin you don't Em7see me

 But you kCnow that I see you, I drift oGff...

 I'm gonna Gfade away

 BeyoCnd the city Glights

 I'm gonna fEm7ade away

CThrough the emty night

 I'm gonna fGade away

CDrifting out your Glife

 I wanna Em7fade away

CThrough the empty night G
