F#5             C5 
I threw out the photographs  
D5           F#5 
Like yesterdays flowers  
F#5             C5 
I tried to erase the past  
D5           F#5 
But it won't go away  
 

B5                   C#5 
And those where the curtains  
Bb5          D#5    
That you had made  
B5             C#5 
One thing's for certain  
D5         F#5 
The ghost of you stays  
 

F#5             C5 
I painted the second room  
D5           F#5 
And cleared out the basement  
F#5             C5 
And smelled some of your perfume  
D5           F#5 
On the scarf that you made  
 

B5             C#5      Bb5          D#5 
The Salvation Army collected your things  
B5             C#5      Bb5          D#5 
I gave them the jewellery, all the bracelets and rings  
B5              C#5     Bb5          D#5 
Your clothes in black bin bags I gave them away  
B5             C#5      D5         F#5 
I tried to move on but the ghost of you stays  
D5         F#5 
The ghost of you stays  
D5         F#5         B5 
The ghost of you stays  
 
 
F#5             C5 
I threw out the photographs  
D5           F#5 
Like yesterdays flowers  
F#5             C5 
I tried to erase the past  
D5           F#5 
But it won't go away  
 

B5             C#5 
I wake in the morning  
Bb5          D#5 
And try to be brave  
B5             C#5 
But it's hard to move on  
D5         F#5 
When the ghost of you stays

B5             C#5 
It's hard to move on  
D5         F#5 
When the ghost of you stays  
D5         F#5 
The ghost of you stays  
D5         F#5 
The ghost of you stays
