Intro: A D6 Amaj7 D A D Amaj7
A
I've seen how you tremble,
E7
Whenever he walks through your mind,
E7
Stirring up memories that cloud up your eyes,
G D A
Where the light of our love ought to shine,
A
I know that he hurt you and hurt you so bad,
D
He must have been going insane,
E
Now I finally learned how to hold you together,
E6 Amaj7
When somebody mentions his name.
(Chorus)
D
He's just a ghost story so don't let him scare you,
D A
He's not really there like he seems,
E
And tonight when I hold you I'll hold you so close,
D B7 A Bm7 Amaj7
I'll love him right out of your dreams.
D A
I'm sure that he's called you,
A E7
And told you that our love can't last,
E7
But don't you believe him 'cause honey he's wrong,
D A
He's never been right in the past,
A
So don't let him haunt you and tell you those lies,
A D
He just can't admit that you're free,
E7
The next time he calls you just hand me the phone,
E7 A
And see if he'll say that to me.
(Chorus)
D
He's just a ghost story so don't let him scare you,
D A
He's not really there like he seems,
E
And tonight when I hold you I'll hold you so close,
C#m Amaj7
I'll love him right out of your dreams.
(Chorus)
D
He's just a ghost story so don't let him scare you,
D A
He's not really there like he seems,
E7
And tonight when I hold you I'll hold you so close,
C/E F#7 A
I'll love him right out of your dreams.
D A E E7 A
