There's a ghost in my bedroom
   C/B
it haunts me at night
     Am           G            F
I've asked him to leave but he keeps stopping by
Dm                         G
Just when I think that I'm alone
   C        C/B
it shows up again
           Am
but with a friend this time
    F                   G
and now this is getting old
                     C-C/B-Am
I don't know what to do
F            G                (C)
Metaphorically, this ghost is you

         C                      C/B
Now this ghost in my bedroom it gives me advice
    Am           G
And promised one day
              F
that it would teach me to fly
Dm                    G
Now that I think I'm alone
   C            C/B         Am
It comes out my way, with a devil's smile
          F              G
singing, "this is now my home"
                    C-C/B-Am
You're my wish come true
         F                 G
When you reach that golden cloud
        (C)
I'll be there with you

              F               C
If there were monsters in the closet
             G                   Am - G
Well I don't think I would be surprised
           F                   C
I hear 'em call out from my window
            G
They try to trick me to come outside (I won't let you down)
F                C
   We talked all day
             G                  Am      G          F
I can't tell if he's real, or a made up version of her again
          C                     G
I'm never alone, cause I've got you
                   C          C/B
Get this out of my head!


Am-G-F Dm G C-C/B-Am-G
           
           F             G                  C-C/B-Am
Now I will waste away my love, on something new
           F            G
If there's only one way out,
                 C         G
I'll come back for you.

     F                   C
If I get stuck out there forever
          G                  Am-G
tell everyone that I say goodbye
       F                C                    G
Now my lifelong list of wish is that I could bring you back
                         F
but we don't belong here now.
        C                   G                        Am-G
If it stays, well that just means I've got nine more days
          F                 C
till I go back to my little world
                G                   
where it's just me and my imaginary friend


C C/B Am F (2x)

C                                 C/B
   So go out and love, find a new direction
                                   Am
   (have my heart, keep it for protection)
                             F
   Don't get stuck on your way
                            (C)
   The other side's a scary place
C                               C/B
   (Do your best not to be afraid)
                             Am
   Lose it all when we run away
                         F
   (Let go of the little things you know I do)
   

          C
There's a ghost in my bedroom
          C/B
(and he's dying to meet you)
               Am
god knows he's heard all about you
             F
I guess he's friendly enough though


I've seen him
C                  C/B           Am
(Loving, sneaking, roses in your bed)
                         F
He says he won't let you down

He will, he will, he will


           C                   C/B     Am      F
(There's a ghost in my bedroom ahhhhhh)
           C                   C/B     Am      F
(There's a ghost in my bedroom ahhhhhh)


C               C/B            Am
Softly, slowly, how could I forget?
              F
I want you to notice I let go
C               C/B            Am
Softly, slowly, how could I forget?
              F
I want you to notice I let go


           C                   C/B     Am      F
(There's a ghost in my bedroom ahhhhhh)

End with C
