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
