[INTRO ]
C D Em D G Am
VERSE I
C D Em
Died last night in my dreams
D G Am
Walking the streets of some old ghost town
C D Em D G
I tried to believe in God and James Dean
Am
But Hollywood sold out
C D Em D G
Saw all of the saints lock up the gates
Am
I could not enter
C D Em D G
Walked into the flames, called out your name
Am
But there was no answer
Am
And now I know my heart is a ghost town
[Refrão]C Em G C
My heart is a ghost town

My heart is a ghost town

My heart is a ghost town
VERSE II
C D Em
Died last night in my dreams
D G Am
All the machines had been disconnected
C D Em
Time was thrown at the wind
D G Am
And all of my friends had been disaffected
C D Em D G
Now I'm searching for trust in a city of rust
Am
A city of vampires
C D Em D G
Tonight, Elvis is dead, and everyone's spread
Am
And love is a satire
Am
And now I know my heart is a ghost town
Chorus
BRIDGE

I got a voice in my head that keeps singing oh, my heart is a ghost town

My heart is a ghost town
