House of Heroes - Ghost 

( C5 )             G5
Fell in love in high school
       C5                        G5
With a brown haired, green eyed girl
                       E5
I walked her home most everyday
         C5                  
Held her hand, I held the world
                    G5
We made our plan to run away
           C5                 G5
I couldn't wait to share her life
                   E5
We started countin down the days
             C5                 G5
She couldn't wait to be my wife
           
I got a job and bought a car
         C5       G5
I turned 18 that spring
                 E5
By summer had my own place
       C5               
And I bought my baby's ring
                 G5
Fell in with the wrong crowd
         C5                G5
Breakin laws, I broke her heart
                 E5
By autumn was in handcuffs
       C5                          G5
Baby's cryin out in her front yard
     D5                    
And that's what hurt the most
  E5                C5
I saw it in her green eyes
               G5
She had seen a ghost

               G5
My mama saw me every week
           C5             G5
Tried her hardest not to cry
                     E5
She told me that she loved me
      C5               
Disappointment in her eyes
                 G5
I said, "Mama, I love you too
              C5                  G5
And I'm gonna make you proud one day"
                 E5
A month before I got out
             C5               G5
They told me mama passed away
     D5           
And that's what hurt the most
  E5          C5                    G5 
I saw it in her eyes, her son was a ghost
  D5              D5
I hate this life I chose
E5             C5                  G5
Long before she died her son was a ghost

            G5
Now I got my freedom
       C5                G5
But it feels like emptiness
                E5
In front of the apartment
           C5               
Where your sister says you live
               G5              C5             G5
And there's another man, who fills my empty shoes
                     E5
And darlin you don't see me
         C5                            G5
But you know that I see you, I drift off...

          G5
I'm gonna fade away
    C5           G5
Beyond the city lights
           E5
I'm gonna fade away
C5             
Through the emty night
           G5
I'm gonna fade away
C5                 G5
Drifting out your life
        E5
I wanna fade away
C5                       G5
Through the empty night
