Capo 3 

Intro: Am 

  
Am        G              F           C 
Dearest Emma, theres a ghost in our town 
 F              C                  G 
A ghost in the town from where you came 
Am        G              F           C 
Dearest Emma, there are cracks in the wall 
 F              C                  G 
And voices in the hall that can't escape 
Am        G              F           C 
Do you remember when we all were young 
 F              C                  G 
When we all were much younger than today? 
Am        G              F           C 
And have you noticed all the signs on the road 
 F              C                  G 
Causing all who pass to know to please be safe? 



    F             G            C C/B      Am 
And I won't keep quiet for the harm we've caused 
  F              G                 C 
And I can't read wrinkles on your face 
    F             G            C C/B      Am 
And I don't have penance for the things I've done 
     G 
I can't explain 

There is a photo on the dash of our car 
That has recently gone dark from all the sun 
Could you imagine if our skin were to fall 
Would the world just be appalled at what we've done 
Dearest Emma, theres a ghost in our town 
A ghost in the town from where you came 
All the nights that the dogs would bark 
I stand with no remark, a crying shame 

Theres a crack in the center of our kitchen floor 
And I'm curious of what it could destroy 
As I reach my hand into the dark below 
I hear your voice 

Bridge: Am  F  C   G (4x) 


C 
And if you want me 
G 
Like I want you 
Am 
A slow escape of all that's made 
F                   G 
Our purest, stolen virtue 
C 
And if you need me 
G 
Like I need you 
Am              
Then that ghost that bore itself below 
F                    G                   C 
Wont bother me and, baby, won't bother you
