D                    A
I don't pick up the  mail
                    D
I don't pick up the phone
                   A                    D 
I don't answer the door I'd as soon be alone
                        Bm                        Em
I don't keep this place up I just keep the lights down
                      G                    A     
I don't live in these rooms I just rattle around
                         D
I'm just a ghost in this house

I'm just a shadow upon these walls
Asus                                D
As quietly as a mouse I haunt these halls
Bm                    D
I'm just a whisper of smoke
D7                         G
I'm all that's left of two hearts on fire
                        D
That once burned out of control
                      A
That took my body and soul
                         D
I'm just a ghost in this house
                   A                          D
I don't mind if it rains I don't care if it's clear
                     A                       D
I don't mind staying in there's another gost here
                      Bm                             Em
She sits down in your chair and she shines with your light
                      G                      A
And she lays down her head on your pillow at night
                        D
I'm just a ghost in the house

I'm just a shell of the man I was
Asus                                     D
A living proof of the damage heartbreak does
Bm                    D  D7
I'm just a whisper of smoke 
                           G
I'm all that's left of two hearts on fire
                        D
That once burned out of control
                      A
That took my body and soul
                         D
I'm just a ghost in this house
                         D
I'm just a ghost in this house

I'm just a shadow upon these walls
Asus                                D
As quietly as a mouse I haunt these halls
Bm                    D
I'm just a whisper of smoke
D7                         G
I'm all that's left of two hearts on fire
                        D
That once burned out of control
                      A
That took my body and soul
                         D
I'm just a ghost in this house
