House of Heroes - Ghost

With a ^Fbrown haired, green eyed ^Cgirl I walked her home most ^Am7everyday Held her ^Fhand, I held the world We made our plan to ^Crun away I couldn't ^Fwait to share her ^Clife We started countin ^Am7down the days She couldn't ^Fwait to be my wife^C

I turned ^F18 that ^Cspring By summer had my ^Am7own place And I b^Fought my baby's ring Fell in with the ^Cwrong crowd Breakin l^Faws, I broke her ^Cheart By autumn was in ^Am7handcuffs Baby's ^Fcryin out in her front yard^C And t^Ghat's what hurt the most I ^Am7saw it in her green^F eyes She had seen a ^Cghost

My mama saw me ^Cevery week Tried her h^Fardest not to ^Ccry She told me that she ^Am7loved me Disapp^Fointment in her eyes I said, "Mam^Ca, I love you too And I'm gonna ^Fmake you proud one ^Cday" A month before I ^Am7got out They told me ^Fmama passed away^C And t^Ghat's what hurt the most I ^Am7saw it in her^F eyes, her son was a ^Cghost I ^Gsushate this life I c^Ghose ^Am7Long before she ^Fdied her son was a ^Cghost

Now I got my^C freedom But it ^Ffeels like emptin^Cess In front of the ^Am7apartment Where your ^Fsister says you live And there's ano^Cther man, who f^Fills my empty ^Cshoes And darlin you don't ^Am7see me But you k^Fnow that I see you, I drift o^Cff...

I'm gonna ^Cfade away Beyo^Fnd the city ^Clights I'm gonna f^Am7ade away ^FThrough the emty night I'm gonna f^Cade away ^FDrifting out your ^Clife I wanna ^Am7fade away ^FThrough the empty night ^C
