You'll notice he plays many of the chords very loosely and will sometimes substitute the G for Gm during the 
verses, etc.

  Oooh, 


  Well, 
Gm          Em                 C        G         F# 
  you and I both know that the house is haunted,
Gm                 Em              C        G      F#
  and you and I both know that the ghost is me, 
Gm                         Em             C             G         F#
  You can catch me in your bedsheets just rattling your chains,
Gm
  Well back then baby it didn't seem so strange,


D           C              Gm        F#     Gm
  I used to bite I used to moan,
D           C              Gm        F#     Gm
  But now I mumble and you choke,
D               C           Gm      F#     Gm
  Now I aint so scary on my own,
  Tell me honey what's a dagger without a cloak,
  I don't know,

Gm          Em                 C        G         F#
  you and I both know that the house is haunted,
Gm                 Em              C        G      F#
  and you and I both know that the ghost is me, 
Gm                         Em             C             G         F#
  You can catch me in your bedsheets just rattling your chains,
Gm
  Well back then baby it didn't seem so strange,

D                 C             Gm      F# Gm
  In the midnight hour you came alive,
D                 C          Gm    F# Gm
  I had to go get my crystal ball,
Gm
  Gotta find that snake,
D                   C                   Gm
  When the sun came up we couldn't find no place to hide,
D  
  And you had to tell your friends that my things were fake, I had to,
            F#     Gm
  That's so messed up,
  

  Cause,
Gm          Em                 C        G         F#
  You and I both know that the house is haunted,
Gm                 Em              C        G      F#
  And you and I both know that the ghost is me, 
Gm                         Em             C             G         F#
  You can catch me in your bedsheets just rattling your chains,
Gm
  Well back then baby it didn't seem so strange,


Am                       C        Em7
  But even in light it's dirt and road,
Am                             C       Em7
  It still takes two to make a house a home,
Am                       C    Em7
  I was lost amongst the catacombs,
Am            
  I hear you call my name but no ones there,
           Em7/4 
  Except a feeling in the air,

  Cause, you and I both know that the house is haunted,
  Yeah you and I both know that the ghost is you,
  You should walk around screaming oh slamming all them doors,
D  
  Well I'm all grown up now I don't scare easy no more,


                   Gm         Em C G F#
  Cause, you and I both know,
            Gm         Em C G F#
  You and I both know, ooh,
            Gm         Em C G F#
  You and I both know, ooh,
            Gm         Em C G F#
  You and I both know, ooh,

  Oooh.
