INTRO Am
 
Am
Today I thought I saw you
Am
Standing on the corner
D
I was just about to call your name I nearly touched her
G Am C D D
Then she turned and suddenly it all came crashing down
C Am Em Am
Just my imagination playing tricks in ghost town
 
This morning I lay sleeping
I heard some footsteps creeping
Standing right beside me at my bed I felt your breathing
You said 'Daddy can I come inside and lay my body down?'
The sun came in, I woke up hard and empty in ghost town
 
Now I wander everywhere
Talking to the air
And every day just like the day before in countless numbers
And every night the curtain falls upon the day gone down
and every single town that I pass through is a ghost town
