song: ghost in this house

album: forget about it

this song can be played with a capo on 3.  Change the chords
as follows:  F=D, Bb=G, Gm=Em, Cm=Am, Eb=C.  I prefer the
capo.  You can also use it up or down the neck to get to a
key that your voice can handle.

(V.1)
I don't pick up the [F]mail, I don't pick up the [Bb]phone.

I don't answer the [F]door, I'd just as soon be [Bb]alone.

I don't keep this place [Gm]up, I just keep the lights
[Cm]down.

I don't live in these [Eb]rooms, I just rattle [F]around.

Chorus
I 'm just a ghose in this [Bb]house, I'm just a shadow upon
these walls.

As quietly as a [F]mouse, I haunt these [Bb]halls.
(c.2 I'm living proof of the damage heartbreak does.)

I'm just a whisper of smoke, I'm all that's left of two
hearts on [Eb]fire.

That once burned out of [Bb]control, you took my body my
[F]soul.

I'm just a ghost in this [Bb]house.

(V.2)same chords as v.1
I don't care if it rains, I don't care if its clear.

I don't mind staying near, there's another ghost here.

He sits down in your chair, and he shines with your light.

And he lays down his head, on your pillow at night.

(Chorus)
