[Intro]
  A    E    C#m    B   E(x4)
[Verse 1]
EIn this country at any Bgiven Etime
EThere are two million empty houses
EAnd one of them once was mine
EYeah there were Atwelve million spirits Edrifting
EThrough C#mtwelve million empty Erooms
EWaving their ghostly Aarms at the stars
And howling Esad songs in the C#mlight of a crescent Emoon
EYeah they Bclaw at the Eair and they C#mscream
C#mBut they don't make a sound
AThey should've Bexercised their demons and their C#msecrets
C#mWhile they were aroundA  
[Chorus]
EDon't you think it's funny how Bquickly things can turn aAround
EAll our lives were drifting like Bghosts inside an empty AhouseE  
BEverything is falling to C#mpieces and it's just as Awell
Because Bevery little piece of heaven C#mbrings a little piece of hell
  A    E    C#m   E(x2)
[Verse 2]
EIn my darkest hour when death is knocking at my door
EI can feel the tug of a thousand fingers
EBut what are the ghosts here for?
They sAay: Beware, C#mbe warEy
C#mOf secrets that you may Ekeep
ECause if they're Aany indication of the Esorrow it brings you
EThen don't C#mtake your demons to Esleep
EThen if you Btake a little time
To C#mstop and think about yourAself
AYou just might Bfind that the
BDirection that you're C#mheaded is closer to hellA  
[Chorus]
EDon't you think it's funny how Bquickly things can turn aAround
EAll our lives were drifting like Bghosts inside an empty AhouseE  
BEverything is falling to C#mpieces and it's just as Awell
Because Bevery little piece of heaven C#mbrings a little piece of hell
  E    B   A(x2)    B    C#m   A(x2)
ASo you might Efind yourAself drifting
ALike a ghost inside empty house after empty house
Looking for someone but lately Efinding not a soul to tell

[Intro]

A E C#m B E

(x4)

[Verse 1]

E B E

In this country at any given time

There are two million empty houses

And one of them once was mine

E A E

Yeah there were twelve million spirits drifting

E C#m E

Through twelve million empty rooms

E A

Waving their ghostly arms at the stars

E C#m E

And howling sad songs in the light of a crescent moon

E B E C#m

Yeah they claw at the air and they scream

C#m

But they don't make a sound

A B C#m

They should've exercised their demons and their secrets

C#m A

While they were around

[Chorus]

E B A

Don't you think it's funny how quickly things can turn around

E B A E

All our lives were drifting like ghosts inside an empty house

B C#m A

Everything is falling to pieces and it's just as well

B C#m

Because every little piece of heaven brings a little piece of hell

A E C#m E

(x2)

[Verse 2]

In my darkest hour when death is knocking at my door

I can feel the tug of a thousand fingers

But what are the ghosts here for?

A C#m E

They say: Beware, be wary

C#m E

Of secrets that you may keep

E A E

Cause if they're any indication of the sorrow it brings you

E C#m E

Then don't take your demons to sleep

E B

Then if you take a little time

C#m A

To stop and think about yourself

A B

You just might find that the

B C#m A

Direction that you're headed is closer to hell

[Chorus]

E B A

Don't you think it's funny how quickly things can turn around

E B A E

All our lives were drifting like ghosts inside an empty house

B C#m A

Everything is falling to pieces and it's just as well

B C#m

Because every little piece of heaven brings a little piece of hell

E B A B C#m A

(x2) (x2)

A E A

So you might find yourself drifting

Like a ghost inside empty house after empty house

Looking for someone but lately finding not a soul to tell
