[Intro] C F C F [Verse]
                C                 F            C
Well there’s a man who dips his feet in holy water

                        F               G
And so he throws - the rest of his body in

            Am              F           C        G6        Am
Says it’ll take more - than wading - to keep the memories fading

        C         G             C
I’m at least - up to my neck in sin

                                    F  C  G
He said I’m coming to terms with a ghost

             C  F  C  G
Learning to deal

                     Am            F   C
I’m gonna take what scares me the most

              G               C F C F
And turn it into something real

         C              F             C
I try to go - to the hospice every Friday

                   F                G
Sit in traffic - thicker than my blood

       Am     F            C      G6    Am
Try to know a man - that I never really knew

          C              G          C
And swim away - from a forty year flood

                                F   C  G
And I’m coming to terms with a ghost

             C  F  C  G
Learning to deal

                         Am            F   C
I’m gonna take just what scares me the most

               G           C  F  C  F  Am  G  F  G
And turn it into something real

                C                F             C
Sometimes she takes - a little longer getting ready

                      F         G
To pretend - there's someone to show

         Am       F                   C    G6   Am
Did she ever find love - or did this town have enough

        C             G               C
I kinda bet - she’ll never let you know

                           F                    C
But I can tell - from the caked on powdered makeup

                           F            G
Covering wrinkles - from smoking away tears

    Am              F           C       G6     Am
She wants it either way - and I want so bad to say

         C          G         C
Love yourself - for once - my dear

                               F  C  G
She’s coming to terms with a ghost

                  C  F  C  G
She’s learning to deal

                     Am             F  C
Gonna take just what scares her the most

        G              C  F  C  F  C  F  C
Turn it into something real
