C
There's a ghost in my bedroom
C/B
it haunts me at night
Am G F
I've asked him to leave but he keeps stopping by
Dm G
Just when I think that I'm alone
C C/B
it shows up again
Am
but with a friend this time
F G
and now this is getting old
C-C/B-Am
I don't know what to do
F G (C)
Metaphorically, this ghost is you
C C/B
Now this ghost in my bedroom it gives me advice
Am G
And promised one day
F
that it would teach me to fly
Dm G
Now that I think I'm alone
C C/B Am
It comes out my way, with a devil's smile
F G
singing, "this is now my home"
C-C/B-Am
You're my wish come true
F G
When you reach that golden cloud
(C)
I'll be there with you
F C
If there were monsters in the closet
G Am - G
Well I don't think I would be surprised
F C
I hear 'em call out from my window
G
They try to trick me to come outside (I won't let you down)
F C
We talked all day
G Am G F
I can't tell if he's real, or a made up version of her again
C G
I'm never alone, cause I've got you
C C/B
Get this out of my head!
Am-G-F Dm G C-C/B-Am-G
F G C-C/B-Am
Now I will waste away my love, on something new
F G
If there's only one way out,
C G
I'll come back for you.

F C
If I get stuck out there forever
G Am-G
tell everyone that I say goodbye
F C G
Now my lifelong list of wish is that I could bring you back
F
but we don't belong here now.
C G Am-G
If it stays, well that just means I've got nine more days
F C
till I go back to my little world
G
where it's just me and my imaginary friend
C C/B Am F (2x)
C C/B
So go out and love, find a new direction
Am
(have my heart, keep it for protection)
F
Don't get stuck on your way
(C)
The other side's a scary place
C C/B
(Do your best not to be afraid)
Am
Lose it all when we run away
F
(Let go of the little things you know I do)
C
There's a ghost in my bedroom
C/B
(and he's dying to meet you)
Am
god knows he's heard all about you
F
I guess he's friendly enough though
I've seen him
C C/B Am
(Loving, sneaking, roses in your bed)
F
He says he won't let you down
He will, he will, he will
C C/B Am F
(There's a ghost in my bedroom ahhhhhh)
C C/B Am F
(There's a ghost in my bedroom ahhhhhh)
C C/B Am
Softly, slowly, how could I forget?
F
I want you to notice I let go
C C/B Am
Softly, slowly, how could I forget?
F
I want you to notice I let go
C C/B Am F
(There's a ghost in my bedroom ahhhhhh)
End with C
