   Em  G  C  Em

Verse 1:
Em              G
I would ask you how you've been
   C
It's all over the internet
Em                 Em
But, hey, I mean you knew that after all
Em                      G
If you're looking for autopsy
        C
Or a half-assed half-apology
Em                  Em
Then I think you picked the wrong time to make this call

Verse 2:
Em        G
It is not irrelevant
         C
That you stopped talking your medicine
Em
But I'm giving you the benefit 'cause its raining out
Em                       G
And I'll tell you how the weather is
         C              Em                        Em                           Em
And you'll slip into some elequently ramblin' mixed messaging, I should shut you down

Chorus:
       C
But it's cold, and it's cold
C
And it's cold
C
And it's cold
C        Em
And it's cold
        C
And I don't know, I'm alone
C
I'm alone
C
I'm alone
    Em
I'm alone

Verse 3:
Em                             G
I hope you tell me that you're winding down
         C
That you've lost the taste to face the crowd
Em                Em
That whatever made you famous made you sick
Em                       G
That you can only do what pain allows
         C
It ain't up to you to make it out
Em                          Em
And there ain't no shame in callin' this thing quits

Chorus:
C
But you don't, and you don't
C
What you don't
C
And you don't
C       Em
And you don't

C
You're a ghost
C
You're a ghost
C
You're a ghost
C                  Em
You're a ghost and you're

Chorus:
Em     G          D         C
Poison spreading to my lungs
       Em        G
I ain't holding breath
               D            C
I ain't holding any faith at all
    Em               G
And I'll pray for you
G        G
Be in pain for you
    D                     C
I'll leave the porch light on
Em
Heartbroken,
G                      D               C
Each morning when it's me that turns it off

Verse 4:
Em                   G
You act like we just sit up here
    C               Em
And wait for you to reappear
Em                 Em
But baby there are bills to pay and
Em
Your dad's road needs salt
    Em                              G
And I'll try to drown out all the talk
    C                 Em
The eyeballs in the parking lot
                  Em
Tell people it ain't me you want
Em
But I guess you're my fault

Chorus:
C
You're a ghost
C
You're a ghost
C
You're a ghost
C
You're a ghost
C        Em
You're a ghost
C
And I choke
C
And I choke
C
And I choke
C                 Em
And I choke on the

Chorus:
Em     G          D         C
Poison spreading to my lungs
  Em            G
I ain't holding breath
                D            C
Ain't holding any faith at all
    Em
And I'll pray for you
G
Be in pain for you
     D                     C
I'll leave the porch light on
Em
Heartbroken
G                      D               C
Each morning when it's me that turns it off
