[Chorus]
Well,
G Em C G F#
You and I both know that the house is haunted,
G Em C G F#
And you and I both know that the ghost is me,
G Em C G F#
Used to catch me in your bedsheets just rattling your chains,
G
Well back then baby it didn't seem so strange,
[Verse]
D C G F# G
I used to bite I used to moan,
D C G F# G
But now I mumble and you choke,
D C G F# G
Now I aint so scary on my own,
Tell me honey what's a dagger without a cloak,
I don't know,
[Chorus]
Cause,
G Em C G F#
You and I both know that the house is haunted,
G Em C G F#
And you and I both know that the ghost is me,

Well back then baby it didn't seem so strange,
[Verse]
D C G F# G
In the midnight hour you came alive,
D C G F# G
I had to go get my crystal ball,
G
Gotta find that snake,
D C G
When the sun came up we couldn't find no place to hide,
D
And you had to tell your friends that my fangs were fake, I had to,
F# G
That's so messed up,
[Chorus]
Cause,
G Em C G F#
You and I both know that the house is haunted,
G Em C G F#
And you and I both know that the ghost is me,

Used to catch me in your bedsheets just rattling your chains,
G
Well back then baby it didn't seem so strange,
[Bridge]
Am G D
But even when one is dead and gone,
Am G D
It still takes two to make a house a home,
Am G D
I'm as lonesome as the catacombs
C
I hear you call my name but no ones there,
D9
Except a feeling in the air,
Cause, you and I both know that the house is haunted,
Yeah you and I both know that the ghost is you,
You should walk around screaming oh slamming all them doors,
D
Well I'm all grown up now I don't scare easy no more,
[Chorus]
G Em C G F#
Cause, you and I both know,
G Em C G F#
You and I both know, ooh,
G Em C G F#
You and I both know, ooh,
G Em C G
You and I both know, ooh,
Oooh.
