G          D        G               D           Bm     F#7
I stumbled in and I fell straight asleep in the chair  Swear I did

G           D           G             D            Bm     F#7
Woke with a start and I thought I saw you floating there  Swear I did

The fixtures and furniture's the same

       D         D/C#            Bm
As the second you walked out the door

G    A         D              A
But here in my head you put a ghost train

And I can't go 'round any    more

And I tell myself it's all a bad dream

I'm living in a haunted heart

Too proud to beg you to come back

One more drink, the fairground fades to black

Every night

G             D              G            D
Days last for years 'til the dark, like a bear,

         Bm     F#7
Puts his claws around my brain

G               D              G              D
Smack! Bang on time, with your laugh, you walk in

            Bm     F#7
Through the walls around my brain

G     A          D               A
The curtains and carpets are the same

       D        D/C#             Bm
As the day you dissolved in thin air

G     A       D                A
Now here I go queueing for the horror ride

D         D/C#           B
Knowing I don't have the fare
[Chorus]

I'm living in a haunted heart

      G
Too proud to beg you to come back

As the ghost train rattles 'round its track,

       G      D      G  D
Every night
[Bridge]
Bb     Bb/A     Bb/G         Bb/A         C
     I can't exorcise you or cause you to reappear

Bb         Bb/A             Bb/G         Bb/A
But if you want to know what nothing looks like

            C                           D                D/C#
Well just peel back my chest and take a look inside here

And you're shaking me apart at the seams

I'm living in a haunted heart

My reality is pushed past extremes
