              INTRO 
C D Em D G Am 
 
VERSE I 
C         D                 Em 
Died last night in my dreams 
D                  G                 Am 
Walking the streets of some old ghost  town 
C D               Em   D             G     
I tried to believe  in God and James Dean 
                  Am 
But Hollywood sold  out 
C   D                Em D                G    
Saw all of the saints   lock up the gates 
            Am 
I could not enter 
C      D               Em D               G                    
Walked into the flames,   called out your name 
                  Am 
But there was no answer 
    Am 
And now I know my heart is a ghost town 
 
C Em G    C 
       My heart is a ghost town 
C Em G C 
C Em G    C 
       My heart is a ghost town 
C Em G C 
C Em G    C 
       My heart is a ghost town 
 
VERSE II 
C         D                 Em 
Died last night in my dreams 
D               G                Am  
All the machines had been disconnected 
C        D                 Em 
Time was thrown at the wind 
    D                G               Am  
And all of my friends had been disaffected 
C       D                  Em     D           G 
Now I'm searching for trust  in a city of rust 
          Am 
A city of vampires 
  C      D             Em    D                G     
Tonight, Elvis is dead,  and everyone's spread 
              Am 
And love is a satire 
    Am 
And now I know my heart is a ghost town 
 
Chorus 
 
BRIDGE 
C                                 D             
 There's no one left in the world, I'm gunslingin' 
Em 
  Don't give a damn if I go down down down 
C                        D                   Em 
 I got a voice in my head that keeps singing oh, my heart is a ghost town 
 
OUTRO 
C Em G    C 
       My heart is a ghost town 
C Em G      C 
     Oh, my heart is a ghost town 
C Em G    C 
       My heart is a ghost town 
C Em G      C 
         My heart is a ghost town
