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


F#5      E5            D5
I saw a ghost on the stairs
    F#5            E5          D5
And sheets on the tables and chairs
    F#5         E5            D5         
The silverware swam with the sharks in the sink
     F#5          D5            E5
Even so, I don't know what to think


B5        A5       E5
I've been longing for
D5           A5                E5 
Daisies to push through the floor
   B5      A5                G5         D5         
And I wish plant life would grow all around me
   C5            G5           D5
So I won't feel dead anymore
   C5            G5           D5
So I won't feel dead anymore


F#5      E5             D5
I saw a bear in the den
F#5        E5              D5
Reading my textbooks again
     F#5              E5                D5
That bats flowed like traffic as they poured from the attic
       F#5            D5             E5
Heaven knows, I could really use a friend


A5          A5           B5               D5 
I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest
    A5              A5       D5           E5
The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time
A5          A5          B5         D5
Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus
  B5         A5           D5                   E5
If I were to pluck on their heartstrings would you strum on mine?

So I won't feel dead anymore

     B5        C5         G5                  D5
Your spirit is sweet, so pull off your sheet
    F5           C5          D5
And give me a ghost of a smile
B5                C5               G5           D5
Show me your teeth 'cause you're teddy beneath
   F5              C5             D5
So just grin and bear it a while
F5             C5            D5
Just grin and bear it a while

G5          G5           A5                C5

Instrumental (x2): A5  E5  G5  D5

   A5        G5       D5
To-night I'm busting out
   B5       A5       E5   
Of this old haunted house
           A5      G5       D5  
'Cause I'm sick of waiting for
        B5     A5       G5         D5
All the spider webs to grow all around me
       C5            G5           D5
'Cause I don't feel dead anymore
    C5        E5            D5 
And I'm not afraid anymore


G5          G5           A5                C5
I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest 
    G5              G5        C5               D5 
The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time
G5          G5          A5         C5
Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus
   A5        G5            C5                  D5                 
If I were to pluck on their heartstrings would you strum on mine?

   A5        G5                 C5             D5                 G5
If I were to pluck on their heartstrings would you strum on mine?
