Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

I saw a ghost on the stairs

 And sheets on the tables and chairs

 The silverware swam with the sharks in the sink

 Even so, I don't know what to think

I've been longing for

Daisies to push through the floor

 And I wish plant life would grow all around me

 So I won't feel dead anymore

 So I won't feel dead anymore

I saw a bear in the den

Reading my textbooks again

 That bats flowed like traffic as they poured from the attic

 Heaven knows, I could really use a friend

I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest

 The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time

Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus

 If I were to pluck on their heartstrings would you strum on mine?

Instrumental

x2):

I've been longing for

Daisies to push through the floor

 And I wish plant life would grow all around me

 So I won't feel dead anymore

 So I won't feel dead anymore

 Your spirit is sweet, so pull off your sheet

 And give me a ghost of a smile

Show me your teeth 'cause you're teddy beneath

 So just grin and bear it a while

Just grin and bear it a while

I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest

 The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time

Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus

 If I were to pluck on their heartstrings would you strum on mine?

Instrumental

x2):

 To-night I'm busting out

 Of this old haunted house

 'Cause I'm sick of waiting for

 All the spider webs to grow all around me

 'Cause I don't feel dead anymore

 And I'm not afraid anymore

I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest

 The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time

Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus

 If I were to pluck on their heartstrings would you strum on mine?
