            C                       E
There's a ghost in my bedroom, it haunts me at night

       Am           G            F/A
I've asked him to leave, but he keeps stopping by

 Dm                          G
Just when I think that I'm alone

     C        E             F/A
It shows up again with a friend this time

         Dm              G
And now this is getting old

                     C-Am
I don't know what to do

F/A         G                  C
Metaphorically, this ghost is you.

           C                      E
Now this ghost in my bedroom he gives me advice

     Am          G             F/A           
He promised one day that he'd teach me to fight 

Dm                          G
Now when I think that I'm alone

    C        E              Am
He comes up my way with a devil smile 

         F/A            G
Singing this is now my home 

                 C        Am
You're my wish come true 

          F/A                E             G         C
When you reach that golden cloud I'll be there with you

                 F/A              C
If there were monsters in the closet 

               E                    Am
Well I don't think I would be surprised

             F/A                C
I hear them call out from my window

               E                 G
They try and trick me to come outside
(I won't let you down)
     G         C
We talked all day

              E                F/A                     C
I can't tell if he's real or a made up version of her again 

  G     C                      E
Never alone, because I've got you

                    Am
Get this out of my head
[Guitar Solo]
             G           F/A
No I won't waste away my love

                 C
On to something new

            F/A          G
If there's only one way out

                    C
I'll come back for you

          F/A              C
If I get stuck out there forever

        E                   Am     G
Tell everyone that I said goodbye

               F/A             C
You're on my lifelong list of wishes

             E
If I could bring you back 

F/A                   C
We don't belong here now

                             E                      Am          
If he stays well that just means I've got numbered days

          F/A                Am
Til I go back to my little world

                G                     C
Where it's just me and my imaginary friends

C
So go out and love

        Am
Find a new direction
(Here's my heart, keep it for protection)
            E            Am
Don't get stuck on your way

           F/A            C
The other side's a scary place

                          Am
(Do your best not to be afraid)

                         Am
Lose it all when we run away

                            F/A
(Letting go of the little things you know I do)

            C
There's a ghost in my bedroom

            E
(And he's dying to meet you)

                 Am
God knows he's heard all about you

               F/A
I guess he's friendly enough

                      C
Though I've seen him lie

               Am            
(He's seeking roses in your bed)

                       F/A
Says he won't let you down
He will! He will! He will!
           C                    Am F/A
There's a ghost in my bedroom
(He will! He will! He will! Will the crowd go crashing down?)
                              Am
Slowly slowly how could I go down

                 F/A
I want you to notice when I let go

C                             Am
Slowly slowly how could I go down?

                F/A
I want you to notice when I let go
(There's a ghost in my bedroom)
