C E There's a ghost in my bedroom, 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 E F It shows up again with a friend this time Dm G And now this is getting old Am I don't know what to do F G C Metaphorically, this ghost is you. C E Now this ghost in my bedroom he gives me advice Am G F He promised one day that he'd teach me to fight F G Now when I think that I'm alone C E He comes up my way with a devil smile F G Singing this is now my home C You're my wish come true F E G C When you reach that golden cloud I'll be there with you F C If there were monsters in the closet E Am Well I don't think I would be surprised F C I hear them call out from my window E G They try and trick me to come outside I won't let you down) G C We talked all day E F C I can't tell if he's real or a made up version of her again G C E Never alone, because I've got you Am Get this out of my head G F No I won't waste away my love C On to something new F E If there's only one way out G C I'll come back for you F C If I get stuck out there forever E Am Tell everyone that I said goodbye F C You're on my lifelong list of wishes E If I could bring you back F C We don't belong here now E Am If he stays well that just means I've got numbered days F Am Til I go back to my little world E C Where it's just me and my imaginary friends C So go out and love Am Find a new direction Here's my heart, keep it for protection E Am Don't get stuck on your way F C The other side's a scary place Am Do your best not to be afraid Am Lose it all when we run away F Letting go of the little things you know I do C There's a ghost in my bedroom E And he's dying to meet you Am God knows he's heard all about you F I guess he's friendly enough C Though I've seen him lie Am He's seeking roses in your bed F Says he won't let you down He will! He will! He will! C Am F There's a ghost in my bedroom He will! He will! He will! Will the crowd go crashing down? Am Slowly slowly how could I go down F I want you to notice when I let go C Am Slowly slowly how could I go down? F I want you to notice when I let go There's a ghost in my bedroom This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.
