Metaphorical ghosts are all around us.

lyrics

| G Em C D |
G Em
I saw a ghost and he was
C D
standing there in aisle five
G Em
Blank look on his face
C D
He forgot he’d been alive
Bm D
But when we were kids
G C
We all looked up to him
Em C
If he was still alive
D G
He could face the world again

| Em C D G |

I saw a ghost and she was
Looking mighty pale
She saw her life ahead
Now she feels like she’s in jail
She bet her whole life
On one little shiny ring
If she was still alive
She could face the world again

| Em C D G |
Chorus
Bm G
They all had their hopes and dreams
C G
But now, those fade away
Bm G
Ghosts that just can’t let go
C D Dsus2
They keep haunting this place

Musical Interlude | Em C D G | x2

I saw a ghost and he was
Working that nine to five
Put all his dreams on hold
As he’s barely getting by
But now he thinks about the
Things he won’t attain
If he was still alive
He could face the world again

| Em C D G |
Chorus
Bridge
C D
What would it take to feel alive?
Bm G
Get that feeling back inside
C D
I’ve got no wisdom to bestow
C D <tacet>
I just know…. I saw a ghost

Outro
| Em C D G |

I saw a ghost x4
