Chords

[Intro] Am F C Am F C Dm E Am Dm G C [Verse 1]
Am           F      C
I seen your face before

            G          Am       F   Dm
When I was waxin' the kitchen floor

               E              Am
Your features carved in the faux marble linoleum

B7                      E
Cicadas dronin' in the midsummer's lonely

          Am
Ah, ba-ba-ba-ba
[Chorus]
                      F      C
On this day, twenty years before

              G               Am          F
I heard the slammin' of the back screen door

     Dm            E           Am
I thought I was accustomed to big surprises

   Dm              E        Am
Until I met your faithless ghost
[Bridge]
      G                           C
She takes a silver comb from her hair

        E                Am
Falls over her shoulders bare

   A                   Dm
Floating from room to room

    G                 C
And I was to be her groom

              E
Oh, it ain't fair
[Verse 2]
Am           F    C
Oh, my sweet entity

               G       Am   F
Why don't you come to visit me?

Dm            E    Am   B
Instead, you taunt me

                        E
Listen, I want you to haunt me
[Chorus]
   Am
ba-ba-ba-ba

                     F    C
In this, our shared history

             G        Am    F
Who gets to use the apostrophe?

 Dm         E              Am
Back door, kitchen floor, vapor rises

 Dm            E          Am
Yeah, she's a faithless ghost

 Dm            E          Am
Lord, she's my faithless ghost
[Refrain]
Am       F     C
Na-na-na-na-na-na

Am                F     C
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

Dm             E        Am
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

Dm             G        C
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
[Bridge]
      G                           C
She takes a silver comb from her hair

        E                Am
Falls over her shoulders bare

   A                   Dm
Floating from room to room

    G                 C
And I was to be her groom

              E   E7 Am
Oh, it ain't fair
[Outro]
Am                                      F       C
Your worldly possessions don't mean a thing to me

            G              Am    F
Only thing left within is sanctity

  D         E7            Am
Back door, kitchen floor, vapor rises

     Dm            E           Am
I thought I was accustomed to big surprises

  D         E7            Am
Back door, kitchen floor, vapor rises

 Dm           E          Am
Yeah, she's a faithless ghost

 Dm           E          Am
Mm, she's my faithless ghost

 Dm           E           Am
Yeah, she is my faithless

             F      C
I seen your face before
