House of Heroes - Ghost 

(C)             GFell in love in high school
       C                        GWith a brown haired, green eyed girl
                       Em7I walked her home most everyday
         C                  Held her hand, I held the world
                    GWe made our plan to run away
           C                 GI couldn't wait to share her life
                   Em7We started countin down the days
             C                 GShe couldn't wait to be my wife
           
I got a job and bought a car
         C       GI turned 18 that spring
                 Em7By summer had my own place
       C               And I bought my baby's ring
                 GFell in with the wrong crowd
         C                GBreakin laws, I broke her heart
                 Em7By autumn was in handcuffs
       C                          GBaby's cryin out in her front yard
     D                    And that's what hurt the most
  Em7                CI saw it in her green eyes
               GShe had seen a ghost

               GMy mama saw me every week
           C             GTried her hardest not to cry
                     Em7She told me that she loved me
      C               Disappointment in her eyes
                 GI said, "Mama, I love you too
              C                  GAnd I'm gonna make you proud one day"
                 Em7A month before I got out
             C               GThey told me mama passed away
     D           And that's what hurt the most
  Em7          C                    G I saw it in her eyes, her son was a ghost
  Dsus              DI hate this life I chose
Em7             C                  GLong before she died her son was a ghost

            GNow I got my freedom
       C                GBut it feels like emptiness
                Em7In front of the apartment
           C               Where your sister says you live
               G              C             GAnd there's another man, who fills my empty shoes
                     Em7And darlin you don't see me
         C                            GBut you know that I see you, I drift off...

          GI'm gonna fade away
    C           GBeyond the city lights
           Em7I'm gonna fade away
C             Through the emty night
           GI'm gonna fade away
C                 GDrifting out your life
        Em7I wanna fade away
C                       GThrough the empty night
