Enjoy!Intro/verse: D9/F#, G, C9, G/B (see figures at bottom of page)There's a letter on the desktop, that I dug out of a drawerThe last truce we ever came to, from our adolescent warAnd I start to feel the fever, from the warm air through the screenYou come regular like seasons, shadowing my dreams (extra C9 G/B D9/F# G)Well, the Mississippi's mighty, but it starts in MinnesotaAt a place that you could walk across with five steps downAnd I guess that's how you started like a pinprick to my heartD9/F# G C9But at this point you rush right through me and I start to drown(strum) D D#dim Em-Em7 A7sus-A7And there's not enough room in this world for my painD D/C# Bm7Signals cross and love gets lost and time passed makes it plainD D#dim Em-Em7 A7sus-A7Of all my demon spirits I need you the mostI'm in love with your ghost x2 C9 G/B D9/F# GDark and dangerous like a secret, that gets whispered in a hushWhen I wake the things I dreamt about you last night make me blushWhen you kiss me like a lover, then you sting me like a viperI go follow to the river, play your memory like the piperAnd I feel it like a sickness, how this love is killing meBut I'd walk into the fingers of your fire willinglyAnd dance the edge of sanity, I've never been this closeIn love with your ghostOo oo-oo ooooooooooooo oo-oo oooooo oo oooo x2 C9, G/B, D9/F#, G(strum) Em-Em7 A7sus A7Unknowing captor, you'll never know how much youD D/C# F#11Pierced my spirit, but I can't touch youBm Bm/A Bm/G# Bm/A*Can you hear it, a cry to be freeB7 Em E Am C D D/C G/B DI'm forever under lock and key as you pass through me (bridge riff)Now I see your face before me, I would launch a thousand shipsTo bring your heart back to my island, as the sand beneath me slipsAs I burn up in your presence, and I know now how it feelsTo be weakened like Achilles, with you always at my heelsAnd my bitter pill to swallow is the silence that I keepIt poisons me, I can't swim free, the river is too deepThough I'm baptized by your touch, I am no worse at mostC(9) G6/B D(9)/F# G6In love with your ghostIn love with your ghost x3 (shadowing my dreams; ooooooooh x2)End with outro fill & riff.
