Jukebox the Ghost – Ghosts In Empty Houses (Guitar)

E                      B    E
In this country at any given time

E
There are two million empty houses

E
And one of them once was mine

E               A                      E
Yeah there were twelve million spirits drifting

E       C#m                  E
Through twelve million empty rooms

E                    A
Waving their ghostly arms at the stars

            E                C#m                 E
And howling sad songs in the light of a crescent moon

E         B           E            C#m
Yeah they claw at the air and they scream

C#m
But they don't make a sound

A              B                                C#m
They should've exercised their demons and their secrets

C#m                        A
While they were around

E                              B                        A
Don't you think it's funny how quickly things can turn around

E                                B                      A          E
All our lives were drifting like ghosts inside an empty house

B                        C#m                     A
Everything is falling to pieces and it's just as well

        B                            C#m
Because every little piece of heaven brings a little piece of hell

E
In my darkest hour when death is knocking at my door

E
I can feel the tug of a thousand fingers

E
But what are the ghosts here for?

      A           C#m   E
They say: Beware, be wary

C#m                     E
Of secrets that you may keep

E                A                     E
Cause if they're any indication of the sorrow it brings you

E          C#m                 E
Then don't take your demons to sleep

E           B
Then if you take a little time

   C#m                      A
To stop and think about yourself

A              B
You just might find that the

B                     C#m                         A
Direction that you're headed is closer to hell

E                              B                        A
Don't you think it's funny how quickly things can turn around

E                                B                      A          E
All our lives were drifting like ghosts inside an empty house

B                        C#m                     A
Everything is falling to pieces and it's just as well

        B                            C#m
Because every little piece of heaven brings a little piece of hell

A            E        A
So you might find yourself drifting

A
Like a ghost inside empty house after empty house

                               E
Looking for someone but lately finding not a soul to tell
