[Verse 1]
[C]What ghosts
exist behind these attic wall[G]s?
There's got to be a simpler
explan[C]ation,
Cause [G]I scrimped and I saved
Just to find that they've
been splicing my in[C]ventions.
[G]

[Verse 2]
[C]Cold ski[Em]n and bon[C]es
and this latitude;
[G]We ain't paying until the heat
comes [C]through.[Em][C]
So [G]you slept in a stocking cap
and wool scarf and the
[C]Promises of

[Verse 3]
[B]payments were
Upon [G]your shoulders constantly,
But [C]don't foget to [B]entertain
Cause [Em]this is your first [C]defense.

[G]Four-year offense of[C]fense to [Em]the devoted

[Verse 4]
[G]type.
I may have got an invitation,
[C]but I wasn't [Em]invit[G]ed.
But I thought that this meant
Something more than broken hearts
and new [C]addictions.[Em]
[C][G]

[Verse 5]
[C]We'll leave our[Em] sins w[C]ithin the
carpet [G]twine.
Our bodies will dissolve the chemicals
[C]in due time.
[Em][G]

[Verse 6]
[C]Promises of [B]payments were
[G]Upon your shoulders constantly,
[C]But don't forget to [B]entertain
[Adim]Cause this is your [B]first defense.
