There's a ghost in my bedroom

it haunts me at night

Just when I think that I'm alone

Now this ghost in my bedroom it gives me advice

And promised one day

that it would teach me to fly

It comes out my way, with a devil's smile

singing, "this is now my home"

When you reach that golden cloud

I hear 'em call out from my window

They try to trick me to come outside (I won't let you down)

   We talked all day

             G                  Am      G          F
I can't tell if he's real, or a made up version of her again

          C                     G
I'm never alone, cause I've got you

Get this out of my head!
Am-G-F Dm G C-C/B-Am-G F G C-C/B-Am Now I will waste away my love, on something new

If there's only one way out,

                 C         G
I'll come back for you.

     F                   C
If I get stuck out there forever
G Am-G tell everyone that I say goodbye
       F                C                    G
Now my lifelong list of wish is that I could bring you back

                         F
but we don't belong here now.

        C                   G                        Am-G
If it stays, well that just means I've got nine more days

          F                 C
till I go back to my little world

where it's just me and my imaginary friend
