I'm a [C/G]ghost to you now, I'm someone you don't really wish to [G]see
I'm a [C/G]ghost to you now, a shadow since you turned your back on [G]me
Maybe you'll [Bm7]learn why it was I [Am7]shook
Baby your [Bm7]turn to wear the haunted [C/D]look[D7sus4]
[Cmaj7/G] This ghost is here to [Gmaj7]stay
C/G
I survived the blast
Get Ready, get ready to [Gmaj7]pay
I'm [D/G]taking you at [C/G]last -
A [Am7]prisoner of the [G]past

Any[C/G]where that you go, I'm going to be the welcome there for [G]you
Every[C/G]where that you go - be certain that the table's set for [G]two
Maybe you'll [Bm7]learn - there's nowhere you can [Am7]go
Baby you'll [Bm7]turn - as white, as white as [C/D]snow[D7sus4]
[Cmaj7/G] This ghost is here to [Gmaj7]stay
C/G
I survived the blast
Get ready, get ready to [Gmaj7]pay
I'm [D/G]taking you at [C/G]last -
A [Am7]prisoner of the [Cmaj7/G]past
This ghost is here to [Gmaj7]stay
C/G
He survived the blast
Get ready, get ready to [Gmaj7]say
"I've [D/G]found my niche at [C/G]last -
A [Am7]prisoner of the [G]past"
