D#m            F#5  G#5            Bbm
Say you stayed home alone with the flu

D#m           F#5     G#5         Bbm
Find out from friends that wasn't true

D#m       F#5                        G#5 Bbm
Go out at night with  your headphones on again

D#m                  F#5               G#5    Bbm
And walk through the Manhattan valleys of the dead

               B       G#5                   C#          F#5
Didn't want to be your ghost, didn't want to be anyone's ghost

               B       G#5                   C#          F#5      
Didn't want to be your ghost, didn't want to be anyone's ghost

               B       G#5                   C#          F#5
Didn't want to be your ghost, didn't want to be anyone's ghost

               B       G#5                   C#          F#5
Didn't want to be your ghost, didn't want to be anyone's ghost

    D#m                  B     C#m                  F#
But I don't want anybody else, I don't want anybody else


You said I came close
As anyone's come
To live underwater
For more than a month
You said it was night inside my heart, it was
You said it should tear a kid apart, it does

Didn't want to be your ghost
Didn't want to be anyone's ghost
Didn't want to be your ghost
Didn't want to be anyone's ghost

But I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else

        G#m                          B                        D#m
I had a hole in the middle where the lightning went through it

                       F#
Told my friends not to worry

        G#m                          B                        D#m
I had a hole in the middle someone's sideshow wouldn't do it 
 
                         F#
I told my friends not to worry

Didn't want to be your ghost
Didn't want to be anyone's ghost
Didn't want to be your ghost
Didn't want to be anyone's ghost
