{intro} 
 
          B/F#          F                        F/A 
There's a letter on the desktop that I dug out of a drawer 
           B/F#         F                       F/A 
The last truce we ever came to from our adolescent war 
        B/F#             F                                 F/A 
And I start to feel the fever from the warm air through the screen 
         B/F#           F               F6/A      F6/A  B9/F#  F6 
You come regular like seasons, shadowing my dreams 
 
    B9/F#        F6                       F6/A 
The Mississippi's mighty, but it starts in Minnesota 
       B9/F#             F6                          F6/A 
At a place that you could walk across with five steps down 
      B9/F#                   F6                       F6/A 
And I guess that's how you started like a pinprick to my heart 
             B9/F#                F6                        
But at this point you rush right through me and I start to drown 
 
            B          B#º        Dm7          C7sus - C7 
And there's not enough room in this world for my pain 
B                  B/C#               Am7                   Am7 
Signals cross and love gets lost and time passed makes it plain 
   B            B#º     Dm7           C7sus - C7 
Of all my demon spirits I need you the most 
      F6/A            B9/F#  F6 
  I'm in love with your ghost 
           F6/A        B9/F#  F6 
  I'm in love with your ghost 
 
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 
        F6/A       B9/F#   F6 
   In love with your ghost 
  
              F6/A        B9/F#  F6 
Oo oo-oo ooooooooooooo oo-oo oooooo oo oooo 
              F6/A        B9/F#  F6 
Oo oo-oo ooooooooooooo oo-oo oooooo oo oooo 
 
          Dm7            Dm7            C7sus     C7 
Unknowing captor, you'll never know how much you 
           B      B/C#         F#7sus4    F#7 
Pierced my spirit, but I can't touch you 
             Am    Am/C        D7/F#   F 
Can you hear it, a cry to be free 
A7       A7         Dm          D   Cm   C      B      B/C   F/A   B 
  I'm forever under lock and key as you pass through me 
 
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 
     F6/A       B9/F#   F6 
In love with your ghost 
     F6/A       B9/F#              F6 
In love with your ghost  (shadowing my dreams) 
     F6/A       B9/F#    F6 
In love with your ghost  (ooooooooh) 
     F6/A       B9/F#     F6 
In love with your ghost  (ooooooooh) 
  
   F/A   B/F#   F

Notes on some chords: 
* If you don't want to play B#º (xx1212), play A7/B# (xx1202) instead; 
it doesn't sound much different. 
* I think the Girls play F#11 (244300) where I've written F#7sus4 & F#7 
(x44420 & x44320), and some god-awful F#m and Fmaj7 chords where I wrote 
D7 & G.  Do whatever you think works best for you. 
* In the chorus, try playing the second half of B and B#º (or A7/B#) with 
the third fret on the high E string.  It matches the vocals that way. 
 
 
TAB: 
 
The picking pattern for the intro, first verse, and outro goes like this 
(note the continuous B note on the third fret of the A string): 
 
  B/F#            F                            F/A 
E --------------------------------|--------------------------------| 
A ------3-------3-------3-------3-|------3-------3-------3-------3-| 
F --2-------2-------0-------0-----|--0-------0-------0-------0-----| 
B ----0-------0-------0-------0---|----2-------2-------0-------0---| 
A --------------------------------|3-------3-------2-------2-------| 
E 2-------2-------3-------3-------|--------------------------------| 
  ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .  ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .    
 
 
For the rest of the song, where it goes B9/F# F6  F6/A,   it's a 
little trickier (HINT: the thumb handles all the notes on the D, C,   and 
B strings): 
 
  B9/F#         F6                           F6/A 
E ------0---------------0---------|------0---------------0---------| 
A ----------3---------------3-----|----------3---------------3-----| 
F --2-----------2---0-----------0-|--0-----------0---0-----------0-| 
B ----0-------0-------0-------0---|----2-------2-------0-------0---| 
A --------------------------------|3-------3-------2-------2-------| 
E 2-------2-------3-------3-------|--------------------------------| 
  ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .  ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .    
 
 
And then there's this little fill in the intro and outro: 
 
  B/F#            F                            F/A 
E --------------------------------|3-----2-----3-------------------|
