D-C6-G6 x2
                 D
Maybe I'm just a ghost
                  C6
Disappear when anybody's close   G6
Go through you when you travel
            D
Travel over near
                 D 
Maybe I'm just a ghost
                   C6
Emptied by 'em, anybody knows
               G6-D
Maybe I'm on a rose
Or am I even here?
G6-D
  Yeaaah
D                   C6           G6
Every time I try to walk through walls 
                  D
More walls appear
                            C6       G6
What's the point in feeling love for you 
                           D
When you don't believe I'm here?
                              C6          G6
What's the point in trying to raise your voice 
               D
If no one ever hears?
                    C6       G6
Every time I try to pull you close
             D-C6-G6 x2
You disappear
            D
Maybe I'm a ghost
                    C6      G6
Just a whisper in a puff of smoke
  D             (RIFF)
A secret that nobody knows
                      G6
No one will ever hear
G6              D
Oh, maybe I'm a ghost
Am             C6
Specter of the wrong cause
       G6     D-G6
Fallen out of rose
                 D
Something people fear
G6-D
  Yeaaah
D                         C6      G6 
And every time I find I'm off the walls
                  D
It's all becoming clear
                            C6       G6
What's the point in feeling love for you 
                           D
When you don't believe I'm here?
                            C6     G6
What's the point in saying 'Rescue me!' 
               D
If no one ever hears?
                    C6       G6
Every time I try to pull you close
             D
You disappear
                    C6       G6
Every time I try to pull you close
             D
You disappear--------
INTERLUDE
D-C6-G6 x3 softly
ooooooooooh
D-G6 x2 Loudly
D                         C6      G6
And every time I find I'm off the walls 
                  D
It's all becoming clear
                          
                    C6       G6
Every time I try to pull you close
              D
You disappear
                    C6       G6
Every time I try to pull you close
           Am (7)
You disappe[ar] (abrupt fade)
