House of Heroes - Ghost
(C) G
Fell in love in high school
C G
With a brown haired, green eyed girl
Em7
I walked her home most everyday
C
Held her hand, I held the world
G
We made our plan to run away
C G
I couldn't wait to share her life
Em7
We started countin down the days
C G
She couldn't wait to be my wife
I got a job and bought a car
C G
I turned 18 that spring
Em7
By summer had my own place
C
And I bought my baby's ring
G
Fell in with the wrong crowd
C G
Breakin laws, I broke her heart
Em7
By autumn was in handcuffs
C G
Baby's cryin out in her front yard
D
And that's what hurt the most
Em7 C
I saw it in her green eyes
G
She had seen a ghost
G
My mama saw me every week
C G
Tried her hardest not to cry
Em7
She told me that she loved me
C
Disappointment in her eyes
G
I said, "Mama, I love you too
C G
And I'm gonna make you proud one day"
Em7
A month before I got out
C G
They told me mama passed away
D
And that's what hurt the most
Em7 C G
I saw it in her eyes, her son was a ghost
Dsus D
I hate this life I chose
Em7 C G
Long before she died her son was a ghost
G
Now I got my freedom
C G
But it feels like emptiness
Em7
In front of the apartment
C
Where your sister says you live
G C G
And there's another man, who fills my empty shoes
Em7
And darlin you don't see me
C G
But you know that I see you, I drift off...
G
I'm gonna fade away
C G
Beyond the city lights
Em7
I'm gonna fade away
C
Through the emty night
G
I'm gonna fade away
C G
Drifting out your life
Em7
I wanna fade away
C G
Through the empty night
