(G)Jimmy died on his (Am)couch yesterday

From the (C)ghost of the gang (D)tonight

It’s been (G)years, but I’m (Am)thinking about you
(C)And all of your tears and I’m (Em)sitting here in the (G)dark

From the (C)ghost of the gang (D)tonight

Or (G)sitting in the dark all (D)scared and mad
Feel my (C)hand reach across and don’t forget
Where you (G)come from baby, ‘cause there’s (D)truth in (C)it

Yeah we (G)huddled against the (Am)cold in those days
By the (C)light of a fire in a pep-rally haze
With the (G)smoke and lives past, and a (Am)reason for living
No (C)matter how bad it got, we wouldn’t give in to (Em)it

It’s been (G)years, since I’ve (Am)seen anyone
