Misc Originals – Becki Sings - Haunted (Guitar)

Am               C
I linger in the doorway,

F                     E
Just a whisper in the dust,

Am               C
Your laughter lights the shadows

F               E
Where I used to place my trust.

Am               C
You still set out two cups of coffee,

F                     E
Like you did before the fall,

Am            F
And I almost reach to touch you -

C               E
But I can’t cross that wall.

F         C
Every sigh you breathe, I feel it,

E             Am
Every tear still calls my name.

F            C
But loving you means freeing you,

Dm            E
Even if it kills the flame.

Am           C
So I’ll fade into the silence,

F                E
Disappear before dawn,

Am           C
Leave your dreams unbroken,

F             E
Let your heart move on.

Dm                F
I could stay and keep you haunted,

C                   E
But that’s not what love should do -

Am           F            C     E
So I’ll vanish from your world, because I love you.

Am             C
You hum my song in your sleep,

F                    E
Though the words have lost their sound,

Am             C
And the echoes of our promises

F                 E
Still tremble through the ground.

Am             C
I could cling to what’s remaining,

F                   E
Haunt your every gentle thought,

Am             F
But you deserve a life that’s living,

C             E
Not a ghost that love forgot.

F         C
I could carve my name in sorrow,

E             Am
Keep you tethered to the pain,

F            C
But I want your sky tomorrow

Dm            E
To know sunlight, not my rain.

Am           C
So I’ll fade into the silence,

F                E
Disappear before dawn,

Am           C
Leave your dreams unbroken,

F             E
Let your heart move on.

Dm                F
I could stay and keep you haunted,

C                   E
But that’s not what love should do -

Am           F            C     E
So I’ll vanish from your world, because I love you.

F               Am
If forever means release,

C               E
Then I’ll learn to rest in peace.

F               Am
Love’s not chains - it’s letting be,

Dm              E
And setting you free.

Am           C
So I’ll fade into the silence,

F                E
Disappear before the dawn,

Am           C
Leave your dreams unbroken,

F             E
Let your heart move on.

Dm                F
I could stay and keep you haunted,

C                   E
But that’s not what love should do -

Am           F            C     E
So I’ll vanish from your world,

Am           F            C     E
Yes, I’ll vanish from your world,

Am                 F           E       Am
Because I love you… I’ll let you go.
