Standard

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


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


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


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

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

The book babbles on about nothing at all

New leaves turn over not willing to fall


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