A A       G G                 F F
I saw a ghost on the stairs,
A A G G F F
And sheets on the tables and chairs,
A A G G F F
The silverware swam with the sharks in the sink,
A A F F G G
Even so, I don't know, what to think.


F F C C G G
I've been longing for,
F F C C G G
Daisies to push through the floor,
F F C C Bb Bb F F
And I wish that plant life would grow all around me,
Bb Bb C C F F
So I won't feel dead anymore.
Bb Bb C C F F
So I won't feel dead anymore.


A A G G F F
I saw a bear in the den,
A A G G F F
Reading my textbooks again,
A A G G F F
Bats flowed like traffic as they poured from the attic,
A A F F G G
Heaven knows, I could really use a friend.


C C G G F F G G
I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest,
C C G G F F G G
The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time,
C C G G F F G G
Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus,
F F C C F F G G
If I were to pluck on your heartstrings would you strum on mine?


F F,C C, G G, F F
F F,C C,G G,G G


F F C C G G
I've been longing for,
F F C C G G
Daisies to push through the floor,
F F C C Bb Bb F F
And I wish that plant life would grow all around me,
Bb Bb F F F F
So I won't feel dead anymore.
Bb Bb F F F F
So I won't feel dead anymore.


F F Bb Bb F F C C
Your spirit is sweet, so pull off your sheet,
F F Bb Bb F F
And give me a ghost of a smile,
F F Bb Bb F F C C
Show me your teeth, 'cause you're teddy beneath,
F F Bb Bb F F
So just grin and bear it a while
F F Bb Bb F F
Just grin and bear it a while.


Bb Bb F F Bb Bb Eb Eb
I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest,
Bb Bb F F Bb Bb Eb Eb
The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time,
Bb Bb F F Bb Bb Eb Eb
Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus,
Bb Bb F F Bb Bb Eb Eb
If I were to pluck on your heartstrings would you strum on mine?


Eb Eb,Bb Bb, F F, F F
The book babbles on about nothing at all
Eb Eb,Bb Bb,F F,F F
New leaves turn over not willing to fall


Eb Eb Bb Bb F F
Tonight I'm busting out
Bb Bb F F G G
Of this old haunted house
Eb Eb Bb Bb F F
'Cause I'm sick of waiting for
Bb Bb F F C C F F
All the spider webs to grow all around me.
Bb Bb F F F F
'Cause I don't feel dead anymore
F F Bb Bb F F
And I'm not afraid anymore.


Bb Bb F F Bb Bb Eb Eb
I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest,
Bb Bb F F Bb Bb Eb Eb
The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time,
Bb Bb F F Bb Bb Eb Eb
Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus,
Bb Bb F F Bb Bb Eb Eb
If I were to pluck on your heartstrings would you strum on mine?
Bb Bb F F Bb Bb Eb Eb
If I were to pluck on your heartstrings would you strum on mine?
