        Bm/ G[3244xx]
DThis guy could save the world with both Ghands behind his back
                                  Bm  Bm/G  
And still emerge with ten times the courage that others lack
DI'm sick of wallowing here in my Gown self pity 
                       Bm  Bm/G  
Feet in the countryside, head in the city
DTall buildings, bright Glights, bright cars,
                        Bm  Bm/G  
But more importantly more importantly that's where you are
DI'll send you postcards Gfrom my head, 
                         Bm  Bm/G  
Thinking bout you while my cheeks go red
EmYou're not a ghost but you A7feel like one right now
EmBut you can haunt me if you A7like
DI need some Ahelp to compEmlete this Gtask,
DWant you here Abeside me is that Emtoo much to Gask?
DI'm haunted Ahere, I'm haunted Emhere, without you Gdear,
DI'll tell you Athis as I Emwhisper in your Gear and say,Gm  
There's always another day
DSomeone once said, that a Gstory once told
                                    Bm  Bm/G  
That these streets, these streets are paved with gold
DBut unless you're standing on them, or Gsitting on your thrown
                                      Bm  Bm/G  
They mean nothing to me, nothing to me, nothing but stone
DMaybe you'll never know just Ghow I feel,
                            Bm  Bm/G  
Maybe you'll never know maybe that's the appeal
DBut walls look weird without you Gsitting on top
                         Bm  Bm/G  
I never meant to start and now I can't stop
EmYou're not a ghost but you A7feel like one right now
EmBut you can haunt me if you A7like
DI need some Ahelp to compEmlete this Gtask,
DWant you here Abeside me is that Emtoo much to Gask?
DI'm haunted Ahere, I'm haunted Emhere, without you Gdear,
DI'll tell you Athis as I Emwhisper in your Gear and say,Gm  
There's always another day
AIf you always go slow than you'll Gprobably never fall 
Abut if you never go fast than you'll Gnever feel tall
AIf you always go slow than you'll probably Gnever get hurt,
Abut if you never go fast you'll never Gfeel on top of the world x2
EmYou're not a ghost A7  
EmBut you can haunt me if you A7like
DI need some Ahelp to compEmlete this Gtask,
DWant you here Abeside me is that Emtoo much to Gask?
DI'm haunted Ahere, I'm haunted Emhere, without you Gdear,
DI'll tell you Athis as I Emwhisper in your Gear and say,Gm  
There's always another day
DThis sounds like a love song Gbut its not,
                    Bm  Bm/G  
Cause in the end, the girl gets caught
DAnd will they be together Gin the end
                           Bm  Bm/G  
Well I wish I could tell you that my friend
