Intro: D5  D5  B5  B5  G5  A5  A5 
 
 D5                                     D5      B5 
He said he had to stop, he hadn't had a drop of anything 
               G5 
Stronger than coffee 
            A5 
In ten months, three weeks, and one long day 
 D5                                        D5            B5 
He pushed away his plate, and said it's better late than never done 
                    G5 
When it comes to getting right 
                        A5 
It took a while but I saw the light 
 

  E5 
He said some things they cast long shadows 
 D5 
That I never will outrun 
  G5  
And every day I spend livin' with  
 A5                                          D5 
Ghosts of all the things that I've done wrong 
  D5                 B5           B5 
Grab a chair 'cuz the list is long 
         G5            
I can write you a country song 
                    A5 
'Bout the reasons I'll be going home 
                D5             D5 
To a house full of memories 
                        B5    B5 
Things I wish I'd done differently 
  E5                                          D5 
But when I'm feeling weak they keep me strong 
    G5                   A5                   D5  (intro) 
Ghosts of all the things, that I've done wrong  
 Said there's a spot of paint and it just ain't the right shade 
But it covers up the whole I made 
Where I broke my wrist the night she left 
And there's a lot of friends that I ain't seen in a lot of years 
Some are still hangin' around 
In old pictures I can't take down 
 
He said some things they cast long shadows 
That I never will outrun 
Every day I do battle with 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Yeah, I've got a heart full of memories 
Things I wish I'd done differently 
But when I'm feelin' weak they keep me strong 
Ghosts of all the things, that I've done wrong 
 
He said he had to stop, he hadn't had a drop of anything 
Stronger than coffee 
In ten months, three weeks, and one long day
