The Ghost

       D
I will change, I will change
              G               D
I swear, just tell me what to do
     G              D
Just tell me who to be
            Em              A
And I'll be who you want me to
   G            F#7
Pretend I don't exist
          D        F#7    Bm
You won't know I'm in the room
           G         A
I'll be the ghost of something
    Em             A            D     F#7  Bm
That  used to mean something to you


[Verse 1]
G     A        D
 This beaten up heart
            D
Is lost and confused
               D
I wish that my younger self was here
              G           A
He'd know just what to do
   D
Boy could he talk
          G         A       Bm
Well he'd know just what to say
       G              A               D     A
Moving up is moving on from where you came
Bm         F#7 D      Em
Stop me if I'm boring you
    F#7    Em   Bm
I'm painfully aware
                F#7    D       Em         F#7
That you've got better ways to waste your time


[Chorus]
       D
I will change, I will change
              G               D
I swear, just tell me what to do
     G              D
Just tell me who to be
            Em              A
And I'll be who you want me to
   G            F#7
Pretend I don't exist
          D       F#7     Bm
You won't know I'm in the room
           G         A
I'll be the ghost of something
    Em             A            D
That  used to mean something to you


[Verse 2]
A              D
 Say this isn't real
              D
Say this was a joke
                 D
Say there's still space for me in bed
                  G      A
Cause I can't live alone
       D               G  A         Bm
Oh pitiful me, I'll do anything you say
           G               A             D
I'd soon as suffocate with you than stay away
A    Bm     A        D     Em
 And I knew all this years ago
    F#7      Em       Bm
But couldn't take the hint
             Bm  A     D
You match my overcompensation
Em        F#7
With your own ambivalence


[Chorus]
       D
I will change, I will change
              G               D
I swear, just tell me what to do
     G              D
Just tell me who to be
            Em             A
And I'll be who you want me to
   G            F#7
Pretend I don't exist
          D        F#7    Bm
You won't know I'm in the room
           G         A
I'll be the ghost of something
    Em             A            D      A
That  used to mean something to you


[Bridge]
Bm               Em
  When I got the call
A             D
 I was on the road
G               C                 A
 Three weeks in Europe 'til I got home
   Em                  A
So what would make you stay
             D                        G
I'll build a mountain I'll change my name
                C                 D                B7
I don't have to breathe if all my air gets in your way


[Chorus]
       E
I will change, I will change
              A               E
I swear, just tell me what to do
     A              E
Just tell me who to be
            G#7            B
And I'll be who you want me to
   A            G#7
Pretend I don't exist
          E        G#7    C#m
You won't know I'm in the room
           A         B
I'll be the ghost of something
    G#             C#m
That  used to mean something to you
    F#m                B            E
That   should've meant something to you
