[Verse 1]
She said
TEmhis is not about a poltergeist
NGot about a phantom that glows at night
BDut there are things we don't know and I
DAmon't have another choice but an open mind / oh
AEmnd I know what they'll say
IG'm trying to make sense of what no one can explain
BDut I've been having dreams that after I'm awake
PAmlay out in reality the very next day
SEmo I play along
I Gnod my head when they say I'm wrong
BDut each night falls and away I run
OAmn the other side till the daylight comes
[Chorus]
CAnd when the lights go Emdown
I see Dthings I can't explain
AmCalling out my nameC  
The lights go Emdown
Holding Devery memory close
AmTonight is for our ghosts
Em G D Am

[Verse 2]
EmThis is not about you and me
GI can't bring back how it used to be
DAnd I know what I do believe but

GI nod my head when they say I'm wrong
DBut each night falls and away I run
AmOn the other side till the daylight comes

[Verse 1]

She said

This is not about a poltergeist

Not about a phantom that glows at night

But there are things we don't know and I

Don't have another choice but an open mind / oh

And I know what they'll say

I'm trying to make sense of what no one can explain

But I've been having dreams that after I'm awake

Play out in reality the very next day

So I play along

I nod my head when they say I'm wrong

But each night falls and away I run

On the other side till the daylight comes

[Chorus]

C Em

And when the lights go down

I see things I can't explain

Am C

Calling out my name

The lights go down

Holding every memory close

Tonight is for our ghosts

Em G D Am

Ghosts

[Verse 2]

This is not about you and me

I can't bring back how it used to be

And I know what I do believe but

I've already seen what I couldn't see / oh

So I play along

I nod my head when they say I'm wrong

But each night falls and away I run

On the other side till the daylight comes

[Chorus]

C Em

And when the lights go down

I see things I can't explain

Am C

Calling out my name

The lights go down

Holding every memory close

Tonight is for our ghosts

[Instrumental]

Em G D Am

[Chorus]

C Em

And when the lights go down

Is there something in the air?

Am C

There but never there

The lights go down

Holding every memory close

Tonight is for our ghosts

Em G D Am
