House of Heroes - Ghost (C) G Fell in love in high school C G With a brown haired, green eyed girl Em7 I walked her home most everyday C Held her hand, I held the world G We made our plan to run away C G I couldn't wait to share her life Em7 We started countin down the days C G She couldn't wait to be my wife I got a job and bought a car C G I turned 18 that spring Em7 By summer had my own place C And I bought my baby's ring G Fell in with the wrong crowd C G Breakin laws, I broke her heart Em7 By autumn was in handcuffs C G Baby's cryin out in her front yard D And that's what hurt the most Em7 C I saw it in her green eyes G She had seen a ghost G My mama saw me every week C G Tried her hardest not to cry Em7 She told me that she loved me C Disappointment in her eyes G I said, "Mama, I love you too C G And I'm gonna make you proud one day" Em7 A month before I got out C G They 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 Dsus4 D I hate this life I chose Em7 C G Long before she died her son was a ghost G Now I got my freedom C G But it feels like emptiness Em7 In front of the apartment C Where your sister says you live G C G And there's another man, who fills my empty shoes Em7 And darlin you don't see me C G But you know that I see you, I drift off... G I'm gonna fade away C G Beyond the city lights Em7 I'm gonna fade away C Through the emty night G I'm gonna fade away C G Drifting out your life Em7 I wanna fade away C G Through the empty night
