Capo: 3  |  The special chords at the end of the tab.


F#m      E            D
I saw a ghost on the stairs
    F#m            E          D
And sheets on the tables and chairs
    F#m         E            D         
The silverware swam with the sharks in the sink
     F#m          D            E
Even so, I don't know what to think


Bm        A       E
I've been longing for
D           A                E 
Daisies to push through the floor
   Bm      A                G         D         
And I wish plant life would grow all around me
   C            G           D
So I won't feel dead anymore
   C            G           D
So I won't feel dead anymore


F#m      E             D
I saw a bear in the den
F#m        E              D
Reading my textbooks again
     F#m              E                D
That bats flowed like traffic as they poured from the attic
       F#m            D             E
Heaven knows, I could really use a friend


A          A7M           Bm               D 
I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest
    A              A/C#       D           E
The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time
A          A7M          Bm         D
Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus
  Bm         A/C#           D                   E
If I were to pluck on their heartstrings would you strum on mine?

     Bm        C         G                  D
Your spirit is sweet, so pull off your sheet
    F           C          D
And give me a ghost of a smile
Bm                C               G           D
Show me your teeth 'cause you're teddy beneath
   F              C             D
So just grin and bear it a while
F             C/E            D

   Bm       A       E   
Of this old haunted house
           Am      G       D  
'Cause I'm sick of waiting for
        Bm     A       G         D
All the spider webs to grow all around me
       C            G           D
'Cause I don't feel dead anymore
    C        Em            D
