[Intro] A Bm D D (x2) [Verse]
A                 Bm
Jimmy died on his couch yesterday

  D
A friend of his ex-wife called me to say

        A                  Bm
He just gave it to God and slipped from the living

         D                                          F#m
With the bills piling up and a back that was giving in

              A                Bm
And it’s been years since I’ve seen anyone

D               F#m          A
Now I’m sitting here, in the dark

Bm                 E
Stalling out in my car

D                     A
Wishing I could bum a light

       D                   E
On the ghost of the gang tonight

A                             Bm
Kathy lost a nephew under the wheels of a train

D
In a midday suicide after a losing streak

        A                       Bm
He just stood on the tracks and gave it to glory

D                                       F#m
I never called her to say I’m sorry, my friend

          A              Bm
It’s been years, but I’m thinking about you

D                             F#m                 A
And all of your tears and I’m sitting here in the dark

Bm                      E
Afraid to make a stupid call

D                     A
Wishing I could bum a light

         D                   E
From the ghost of the gang tonight

D
Tonight I’m gonna take that ride for

    A                       E
The years we missed and the friends that died

D
Sideswiped baby on the road somehow with

  A                        E
A pack of dreams that just weren’t allowed

             D
Maybe you’re walking those halls all quiet and sad

   A                       E
Or sitting in the dark all scared and mad

        D
Feel my hand reach across and don’t forget

          A                              E        D
Where you come from baby, ‘cause there’s truth in it

        A                   Bm
Yeah we huddled against the cold in those days

       D
By the light of a fire in a pep rally haze

         A                          Bm
With the smoke and lives past and a reason for living

   D                                             F#m
No matter how bad it got, we wouldn’t give in to it

          A                Bm
It’s been years since I’ve seen anyone

D                            F#m                 A
Or cried these tears, now I'm sitting here in the dark

Bm                 E
Stalling out in my car

D                     A
Wishing I could bum a ride

         D            E    A       Bm   D
From the ghost of the gang tonight

                           A       Bm   D
From the ghost of the gang tonight

                      A       Bm   D    A
The ghost of the gang tonight
