There's a Cghost in my bedroom
it Ehaunts me at night
I've Amasked him to Gleave but he Fkeeps stopping by
DmJust when I think that I'm Galone
it Cshows up Eagain
but with a Amfriend this time
and Fnow this is getting Gold
I don't know what to CdoE  Am  
            F                  G(C)
Metaphorically, this ghost is you
Now this Cghost in my bedroom it Egives me advice
And Ampromised one Gday
that it would Fteach me to fly
DmNow that I think I'm aGlone
It Ccomes out my Eway, with Ama devil's smile
singing, "Fthis is now my Ghome"
You're my wish come CtrEueAm  
When you Freach that golden Gcloud
        (C)
I'll be there with you
If there were Fmonsters in the Ccloset
Well I don't Gthink I would be surAmpriseGd
I hear 'em Fcall out from my winCdow
They try to Gtrick me to come outside (I won't let you down)
   FWe talked all Cday
I can't tell Gif he's real, or a Ammade up Gversion of Fher again
I'm never Calone, cause I've got Gyou
Get this out of my Chead!E  
Am G F  Dm  G  C E Am G
Now I will Fwaste away my Glove, on something CneEwAm  
If there's Fonly one way Gout,
I'll come back foCr you.G  
If I Fget stuck out there Cforever
tell everyGone that I say goodAmbyeG  
Now my Flifelong list of Cwish is that I could Gbring you back
but we don't belong here Fnow.
If it stCays, well that just Gmeans I've got nine more AmdayGs
till I go Fback to my little Cworld
where it's just Gme and my imaginary friend
  C    E    Am    F(x2)
   CSo go out and love, find a new Edirection
   (have my heart, keep it for protAmection)
   Don't get stuck on your waFy
                            (C)
   The other side's a scary place
   C(Do your best not to be afraiEd)
   Lose it all when we run awAmay
   (Let go of the little Fthings you know I do)
There's a Cghost in my bedroom
(and he's Edying to meet you)
god knows he's Amheard all about you
I guess he's Ffriendly enough though
I've seen him

He says he won't let you Fdown
He will, he will, he will

I don't know what to do

F G C

Metaphorically, this ghost is you

Now this ghost in my bedroom it gives me advice

Am G

And promised one day

that it would teach me to fly

Dm G

Now that I think I'm alone

C E Am

It comes out my way, with a devil's smile

F G

singing, "this is now my home"

C E Am

You're my wish come true

F G

When you reach that golden cloud

()

I'll be there with you

F C

If there were monsters in the closet

I hear 'em call out from my window

They try to trick me to come outside (I won't let you down)

tell everyone that I say goodbye

Now my lifelong list of wish is that I could bring you back

Lose it all when we run away
