Your Ghost
By Steve Poltz

G   Cadd9   G Cadd9

G               F                          C                       G
Last night I looked for you but you could not be found 
G             F                        C                G
I felt your ghost in my room dancing all around 
G                  F                     C                    G 
And I tried to talk to you but there was no reply 
G          F                  C                 G 
I sat up shaking in my bed & then I cried

Em                  D                C                                 G 
And I can't explain it there's so much I could say to you 
Em                   D                            C                         Cmaj7 
And so much is left unsaid & there's nothing I can do 
Nothing I can do yeah

G                  F                        C                           G 
I played your song last night & drank down my last beer 
G                F                     C                            G 
Skyway by Westerberg but you weren't there to hear 
G                     F                  C                    G 
And I thought I saw an angel with you in the back 
G                    F                             C                      G
But when they turned the light down everything went black

Em                            D                C                 G 
And I thought of your mum & dad in your hometown 
Em                    D            C                                        Cmaj7 
And your lovely sister & it slowly brought me down 
Only brought me down yeah

G   Cadd9   G   Cadd9

G              F                         C              G 
I'd think of your smile & how perfectly it fit 
G               F                                           C                       G 
To you the world was a cookie jar & you had your hands in it 
G                     F                          C                      G 
And I wish that I could take all the guns in this sick place 
G                    F                            C 
And melt them into coins & buy compassion for the human 

race

Em                       D                             C                    G
And I know that it sounds cliche but I'm tired of this violence 
Em                            D                             C 
And the view is much different when you're inside of the 
            Cmaj7 
fence 
I'm on the sick side of the fence yeah

G   Cadd9   G   Cadd9

G               F                          C                       G
Last night I looked for you but you could not be found 
G             F                        C                G
I felt your ghost in my room dancing all around 
G                  F                     C                    G 
And I tried to talk to you but there was no reply 
G          F                  C                 G 
I sat up shaking in my bed & then I cried 
G          F                  C         Cmaj7
I sat up shaking in my bed
