Intro/verse: D9/F#, G, C9, G/B (see figures at bottom of page)


There's a letter on the desktop, that I dug out of a drawer
The last truce we ever came to, from our adolescent war
And I start to feel the fever, from the warm air through the screen
You come regular like seasons, shadowing my dreams (extra C9 G/B D9/F# G)

Well, the Mississippi's mighty, but it starts in Minnesota
At a place that you could walk across with five steps down
And I guess that's how you started like a pinprick to my heart
            
But at this po

/           
int you rush r

             
ight through m

        
e and I start 

to drown

      ( 
   And there's

           
 not enough ro

   Of all my d

         
emon spirits I

        
 need you the 

 
most
   I'm in love with your ghost x2    / 

Dark and dangerous like a secret, that gets whispered in a hush
When I wake the things I dreamt about you last night make me blush
When you kiss me like a lover, then you sting me like a viper
I go follow to the river, play your memory like the piper

   And I feel it like a sickness, how this love is killing me
   But I'd walk into the fingers of your fire willingly
   And dance the edge of sanity, I've never been this close
   In love with your ghost

Oo oo-oo ooooooooooooo oo-oo oooooo oo oooo   x2   , , /,

(bridge riff)

Now I see your face before me, I would launch a thousand ships
To bring your heart back to my island, as the sand beneath me slips
As I burn up in your presence, and I know now how it feels
To be weakened like Achilles, with you always at my heels

   And my bitter pill to swallow is the silence that I keep
   It poisons me, I can't swim free, the river is too deep
   Though I'm baptized by your touch, I am no worse at most
        
   In love wit

/          
h your ghost
   In love with your ghost x3  (shadowing my dreams; ooooooooh x2)

End with outro fill & riff. Strum D/F# to finish (200232).
