Another one of TryHardNinja's songs :3 I've proved that these are the right chords, 
just play 'em yourself and you'll see :)
Capo: 1
All chords used: C, Am, F, G
Intro: (2 Versions)
1st: Place your finger on the 3rd fret of the high E note and pick 4 times, before picking 
again 4 times with an open E
2nd: Play an open G note 4 times, before picking a D note 4 times with your finger on the 2nd fret.
Strumming Pattern: I do a single strum for each new chord,
since there isn't a particular rhythm (besides the intro).
However, you are free to do what you wish.
CCloset full of secrets and Amskeletons awakes but Fnothing's trGue,
I Cused to own a castle, Amnow it's boxes that I Fhave to moGve,
CRight here in the darkness there's Amnothing left for Fme to dGo,
It's Ceasier to run away Ambut today,
             F   G(Optional:  D   DDUDU)
Today we got to
CCast the shadows Amout from sight,
A Ffinal stand a Gshouting cry,
CAll the wrongs now Amturned to right,
So Ffight the past,
Take Gback the night,

To Fbring out all the Gghosts to light,
                  C                 Am   F(Optional:  D   D   D  D)
