Standard (EADGBE)

I've seen how you tremble whenever he walks through your mind

Stirring up memories that cloud up your eyes

 Where the light of our love ought to shine

I know that he hurt you and hurt you so bad,

 He must have been going insane

 Now I finally learned how to hold you together

 When somebody mentions his name

Chorus

 He's just a ghost story so don't let him scare you

 He's not really there like he seems

 And tonight when I hold you I'll hold you so close

 I'll love him right out of your dreams

I'm sure that he's called you and told you that our love can't last

But don't you believe him 'cause honey he's wrong

He's never been right in the past

So don't let him haunt you and tell you those lies

He just can't admit that you're free

The next time he calls you just hand me the phone

And see if he'll say that to me

Chorus
