    G
Got sixteen days

One for every time I've gone away
                      F   
One for every time I should have stayed
                    C
Should have wore my wedding ring
     G
Got sixteen days

Fifteen of those are nights
                     F
Can't sleep when the bed sheet fights
              C
It's way back to your side
         G
Well the ghost has got me running

Well the ghost has got me running
F                           C
Away from you away from you away
         G
Well the ghost has got me running

Well the ghost has got me running
F                           C
Away from you away from you away
    G
Got sixteen days

Got a bottle and a rosary
                         F
God I wish that you were close to me
                     C
I guess I owe you an apology
    G
Got sixteen days

Fifteen of those are nights
                     F
Can't sleep when the bed sheet fights
             C
Its way back to your side
         G
Well the ghost has got me running

Well the ghost has got me running
 F                          C       
Away from you away from you away
         G
Well the ghost has got me running

Well the ghost has got me running
F                           C
Away from you away from you away
Am       C      F            G          
Old tin cups, little paper dolls
Am          C       F       
All wrapped up, in ribbons bows and hearts
Am       C        F            G
Old tin cups, and little paper dolls
Am          C           F 
All wrapped up, in the ribbons of your heart

SOLO

G
I got sixteen days

Sixteen days

I got sixteen days

It's like a fool I am
