[Verse 1: Ellia Bisker]
D A
People bring me casseroles
E D F#m
And pray for his immortal soul
D A
They think I'm in widow's weeds
E D F#m
But pity's the last thing I need
D A
I dress in black and wear a veil
E D F#m
To hide bright eyes and skin so pale
D A
And make sure that nobody sees
E A
The marks of love my lover leaves
[Hook]
D E A
Since the day they told me he was gone
D E A
Haunts me faithfully from dusk till dawn
D E A
Hear him whisper sweetly in my ear
D E A
Can't you see we got a good thing here
D E A
Feel his fingertips caress my hair
D E A
Turn around and there is nothing there
D E A
Phantom arms around me sleeping near
D E A
Can't you see we got a good thing here
[Verse 2: Jeff Morris]
D A
When some people pass away
E D F#m
They don't reach the heaven that they prayed
D A
Bitter about the fallacy
E D F#m
The afterlife turned out to be
D A
They bitch and moan and hide your keys
E D F#m
Or talk to psychics on TV
D A
They just groan and shake their chains
E A
When I say my baby's on the physical plane
[Hook]
D E A
When I died upon that cold cold night
D E A
Made a promise never leave her side
D E A
Now she knows that there's nothing to fear
D E A
Can't you see we got a good thing here
D E A
I run my fingers through her hair
D E A
She turns around and there's nothing there
D E A
Wrap my arms around her sleeping near
D E A
Can't you see we got a good thing here x2
[Bridge: Ellia Bisker]
D E A F#m
My husband cooling in the ground, the worms crawl in and out
D E A F#m
My lover's disembodied soul makes me so happy now
D E A F#m
When they drew their pistols and they fired each one shot
D E A F#m
How could I have imagined this sweet bliss would be my lot
[Bridge: Jeff Morris]
D E A F#m
I used to be an angry man, I wanted things that weren't mine
D E A F#m
At fifteen paces in the sand I left that all behind
D E A F#m
Now my spirits rise when she turns out the bedroom light
D E A F#m
I gently haunt my lover in the cold and tender night
[Hook]
D E A
They try to comfort me with platitudes
D E A
They don't know I'm in a real fine mood
D E A
There's no reason I should shed one tear
D E A
Can't you see we got a good thing here
D E A
Don't talk to me of "death do us part"
D E A
Between us we share one beating heart
D E A
Candles flicker in the chandelier
D E A
Can't you see we got a good thing here x 3
