House of Heroes - Ghost

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 wife^G

I turned ^C18 that ^Gspring By summer had my ^Em7own place And I b^Cought my baby's ring Fell in with the ^Gwrong crowd Breakin l^Caws, I broke her ^Gheart By autumn was in ^Em7handcuffs Baby's ^Ccryin out in her front yard^G And t^Dhat's what hurt the most I ^Em7saw it in her green^C eyes She had seen a ^Gghost

My mama saw me ^Gevery week Tried her h^Cardest not to ^Gcry She told me that she ^Em7loved me Disapp^Cointment in her eyes I said, "Mam^Ga, I love you too And I'm gonna ^Cmake you proud one ^Gday" A month before I ^Em7got out They told me ^Cmama passed away^G And t^Dhat's what hurt the most I ^Em7saw it in her^C eyes, her son was a ^Gghost I ^Dsushate this life I c^Dhose ^Em7Long before she ^Cdied her son was a ^Gghost

Now I got my^G freedom But it ^Cfeels like emptin^Gess In front of the ^Em7apartment Where your ^Csister says you live And there's ano^Gther man, who f^Cills my empty ^Gshoes And darlin you don't ^Em7see me But you k^Cnow that I see you, I drift o^Gff...

I'm gonna ^Gfade away Beyo^Cnd the city ^Glights I'm gonna f^Em7ade away ^CThrough the emty night I'm gonna f^Gade away ^CDrifting out your ^Glife I wanna ^Em7fade away ^CThrough the empty night ^G
