Chords

This version is played on original chords and is suitable for both guitar and ukulele. [Intro] C F C F [Verse 1]

C
In the morning when the sun breaks free

F
A reflection that I know I've seen

C
In the night it's haunting me

F
A lonely ghost, a lonely ghost

C
Ever since I was just a child

F
I've seen the visions in my sleep

C
Of a man roaming through the wild

F
With all these ghosts, a lonely ghost

[Pre Chorus]

D                                                C
But you can't breathe in if you don't breathe out

[Chorus]

                Am                  C
'Cuz it's a new day, we're gonna go far

               F
Knuckle down, trim and shake off the dead weight

                   Am
You know what they say

          C               F
You can't hide from your ghosts

                Am              C
'Cuz it's a new day, I wanna go far

                F
Break it down, jump the gun, find a new way

                   Am
You know what they say

     C                     F
I'm stuck here living with all these ghosts, a lonely ghost

[Instrumental]

C             D           F
(Hey! Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey!)

C             D           F
(Hey! Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey!)

[Verse 2]

C
I'm looking back at a room for two

F
The skeletons of all we knew

C
That we were only broke and bruised

F
As you held me close along the coast

C
When the morning settles in

F
And I've learned how to live with it

C
I can't rewind all the things I did

F
And all these ghosts, the lonely ghosts

[Pre Chorus]

D                                                C                                      C
But you can't breathe in if you don't breathe out

[Chorus]

                Am                  C
'Cuz it's a new day, we're gonna go far

               F
Knuckle down, trim and shake off the dead weight

                   Am
You know what they say

          C               F
You can't hide from your ghosts

                Am              C
'Cuz it's a new day, I wanna go far

                F
Break it down, jump the gun, find a new way

                   Am
You know what they say

     C                     F
I'm stuck here living with all these ghosts, a lonely ghost

(Hey! Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey!)

[Bridge]

       C                           F
Now we know we'll never be alone, alone

       C
And we know I wanna be alone, alone

N.C.                           C
(Hey! Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey!)

[Chorus]

                Am                  C
'Cuz it's a new day, we're gonna go far

Knuckle down, trim and shake off the dead weight

You know what they say

You can't hide from your ghosts

                Am              C
'Cuz it's a new day, I wanna go far

                F
Break it down, jump the gun, find a new way

                   Am
You know what they say

     C                     F
I'm stuck here living with all these ghosts, a lonely ghost
