[Verse]
I'm a C/Gghost to you now, I'm someone you don't really wish to Gsee
I'm a C/Gghost to you now, a shadow since you turned your back on Gme
Maybe you'll Bm7learn why it was I Am7shook
Bm7 | C/D | C/D D7sus4 |
Baby your turn to wear the haunted look
[Chorus]
Cmaj7/G This ghost is here to Gmaj7stay
I survived the C/Gblast
Get ready, get ready to Gmaj7pay
I'm D/Gtaking you at C/Glast -
Am7 Cmaj7/G
A prisoner of the past
