I'm a ghost to you now, a shadow since you turned your back on me

Maybe you'll learn why it was I shook

          Bm7                      C      D7sus4
Baby your turn to wear the haunted look

   This ghost is here to stay

I survived the blast

A prisoner of the past

Everywhere that you go - be certain that the table's set for two

Maybe you'll learn - there's nowhere you can go

  Am7             G
A prisoner of the past"
