CASPER
Intro:  G   C  D  
GCasper lives in a wCorld without pDromise
GSitting at home in hCis paDjamas
GJust wishing it would Call go awDay someGhow
(Continue melody)
He walked by but he never saw us
He could have been a famous guitarist
He must have not have had a clue
CFeeling like a Gbowl of spaghetti
CNot knowing whDat to getD  
DYeah...(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
GHe's the one with hCope in his Dsoul
Can't let him slip through the hole
He might just go away and never return
He's hanging on a whim and a prayer
So glad to see him there
Maybe he'll make it some day, some way
CGoing past thGe expected
CMaybe he'll gDet what he wants
Yeah...
Good golly, it's getting moldy
Got to move on, but oh no
He looks at no one, maybe perhaps he's right
There's a fear, a feeling at night
Something may turn (return?) out of sight
But you never really know
Thinking only may be his might
Things may turn out right
Yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Casper!!!
Have a good one.
