He said he had to stop, he hadn't had a drop of anything

Stronger than coffee

In ten months, three weeks, and one long day

He pushed away his plate, and said it's better late than never done

When it comes to getting right

It took a while but I saw the light

He said some things they cast long shadows

That I never will outrun

And every day I spend livin' with
[Refrão]A D
Ghosts of all the things that I've done wrong

Grab a chair 'cuz the list is long

I can write you a country song

'Bout the reasons I'll be going home

To a house full of memories
Bm Bm/A
Things I wish I'd done differently
Em D/F#
But when I'm feeling weak they keep me strong
G A D (intro)
Ghosts of all the things, that I've done wrong
Said there's a spot of paint and it just ain't the right shade
But it covers up the whole I made
Where I broke my wrist the night she left
And there's a lot of friends that I ain't seen in a lot of years
Some are still hangin' around
In old pictures I can't take down
 
He said some things they cast long shadows
That I never will outrun
Every day I do battle with
 
(Chorus)
 
Yeah, I've got a heart full of memories
Things I wish I'd done differently
But when I'm feelin' weak they keep me strong
Ghosts of all the things, that I've done wrong
 
He said he had to stop, he hadn't had a drop of anything
Stronger than coffee
In ten months, three weeks, and one long day
