Intro: G5 Bm Em C5 G5 Bm Em D5 Verse 1: G5 Bm Marry me to the blue sky C5 Bury me in that long last drop of hard rain Em Bm Meet me where they stop time D5 That's you to me on the shovel that's digging this grave Bm Till I can waltz on a moonbeam C5 Till I can find a way to return all tears into wine G5 Bm I'll hitch my ride to a day dream D5 C5 Can't unkiss the lips that love is leaving behind G5 I ain't living with the ghost C5 No future living in the past Em I've seen that hate has done to hop D5 Tomorrow wasn't built to last C5 I ain't living with the ghost Em How can I scream, I'm scared to breathe D5 I wrote each word, you gave the toast But we were fire and gasoline C5 I ain't living with the ghost Verse 2: G5 Bm I set my sails over wheat fields C5 Rode waves of amber let a new sun shine on my face Em Bm I dropped the sword, put down my shield D5 I left your scars for the stars guiding my way Bm I traded hurting for healing C5 G5 I must admit that I was reeling now I'm feeling just fine Bm I traded nightmares for dreaming D5 C5 Go tell your shadows that I got out alive G5 I ain't living with the ghost C5 No future living in the past Em I've seen what hurt has done to hope I found the tree I cut the rope D5 Tomorrow wasn't built to last C5 I ain't living with the ghost Em How can I scream, I'm scared to breathe D5 I wrote each word, you gave the toast But we were fire and gasoline C5 I ain't living with the ghost Solo: G5 C5 Em D5 C5 Em D5 Bridge: C5 Last night I had this dream Am D I saw a man wash his feet in the church holy water C He worked up to his knees Em D From his arms to his neck said I'm over in my head C He was crying trying to get some relief Am Lord, I'm just trying to get some relief C I had this dream G C Em D That man was me G5 I ain't living with the ghost C5 No future living in the past Em I've seen what hurt has done to hope I found the tree I cut the rope D5 Tomorrow wasn't built to last C5 I ain't living with the ghost Em How can I scream, I'm scared to breathe D5 I wrote each word, you gave the toast But we were fire and gasoline C5 Now I ain't living with the ghost Final G5 Bm Em C5 G5 Bm Em D5 G5
