[Intro 1]
[D][G][C][G][D][C][G][C][G]
[D][G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]There's a let
ter on the [G]desktop that I dug [C]out of a drawer
[G]The last tru[D]ce we ever came to[G]
In our [C]adolescent [G]war
And I [D]start to feel [G]the fever
From [C]the warm air through the
[G]screen
You come [D]regular like [G]seasons
[C]Shadowing my [D]dream[C] s
[G][D]

[Verse 2]
[G]And the Missis[D]sippi's mig[G]hty
But it [C]starts in Minnesota
[G]At a p[D]lace that you could
[G]walk across
[C]With five steps [G]down
And I guess [D]that's how you star[G]ted
Like a pin[C]prick to my [G]heart
But at this [D]point you rush
right through [G]me
And I start [C]to drown

[Verse 3]
And there's [D]not enough [Ebdim]room
In this [Em]world for my [A]pain
[D]Signals cross and love gets lost
And time [Bm]passed makes it plain
[D]Of all my demon spi[Ebdim]r its
[Em]I need you [Asus4]the most[A]
[C]I'm in [G]love with your gho[D]st
[G]I'm in lov[C]e wit[G]h your gho[D]st
[G][C][G][D][C][G]

[Verse 4]
[C][Bm]
[G]Dark and dan[D]gerous like [G]a secret
(don't tell a soul)
That gets [C]whispered in a [G]hush
When I [D]wake the things [G]I dreamed
about you (don't tell a [C]soul)
Last night make [G]me blush
And you kiss [D]me like a lov[G]er
Then you sting [C]me like a vi[G]per
I go fol[D]low to [G]the river
Play your [C]memory like a piper

[Verse 5]
And I [D]feel it like a sick[Ebdim]ness
How [Em]this love is killing [A]me
I'd [D]walk into the fingers
Of your [Bm]fire willingly
[D]And dance the edge [Ebdim]of san ity
I've [Em]never been this [A]close
[C]In love wit[G]h your gho[D]st, ooh[G]

[Verse 6]
[C]Oo [G]h[D][G][C][G][D]
[G]Unknowing cap[Em]tor
You never know how [Asus4]much you[A]
Pierce my [D]spirit
[A]But I can't tou[F#sus4]ch you
Can [F#]you hear i[Bm]t
A cry to be [Abdim]free[G][B]
Oh I'm forever under lock [Em]and [E]key
As [Am]you p[C]ass [D]through [C]me[D][G][D]

[Verse 7]
Now I see [D]your face before [G]me
I would [C]launch a thousand ships
[G]To bring your heart bac[D]k to my islan[G]d
As [C]the sand beneath me [G]slips
As [D]I burn up in your pres[G]ence
And I know [C]now how it [G]feels
To be [D]weakened like [G]Achilles
With you al[C]ways at my heels

[Verse 8]
This [D]bitter pill I swal[Ebdim]low
Is the si[Em]lence that I [Asus4]keep
[A]It [D]poisons me I can't swim free
The [Bm]river is too deep
Though I'm bap[D]tized by your [Ebdim]touch
I [Em]am no worse [A]than most
In [C]love [G]with your [D]ghost [G](in love with you[C]r
ghost) You [Bm]are s[G]ha[D]dowing my drea[G]ms
[C](In love [G]with [D]your [G]gho[C]st)
[G](In love with your ghost)
