[Verse 1]
G Em C
Chasing down a ghost, up and down the coast
C/B Am D G
In and out of hallways, it's always the same
G/F# Em C
We missed them by an inch, we're slightly off our mark
C/B Am D
Stare into the void and listen for a voice
[Chorus]
C G C G
'Cause all my life, I don't know honey how to let it go
Em D C Em
How to learn to stand with what I am and what I cannot control
C G C G
'Cause you can tighten up your rope, but you'd be chasing down a ghost
Em G/F# G C D G
And it's not enough to kill you, but it'll get you pretty close
[Verse 2]
G/F# Em C
Hanging by a string, waiting in the wings
C/B Am D G
The show is nearly over, I'm still here
G/F# Em C
Listening for my name, a call that never came
C/B Am D
Now they're pulling up the lights and pushing me aside
[Chorus]
C G C G
'Cause all my life, I don't know honey how to let it go
Em D C Em
How to learn to stand with what I am and what I cannot control
C G C G
'Cause you can tighten up your rope, but you'd be chasing down a ghost
Em G/F# G C D G
And it's not enough to kill you, but it'll get you pretty close
[Bridge]
Am
Or it'll get you in your sleep
E Am
And every secret that you keep locked in your mind
C/B C G
Could come alive, mmm
[Verse 3]
G/F# Em C
So I'm chasing down a ghost, but I never get too close
C/B Am D G
In and out of hallways, we're always at odds
G/F# Em C
With how we missed them by an inch, and we're slightly off our mark
C/B Am D
Don't it seem a little strange how it never seems to change
[Chorus]
C G C G
'Cause all my life, I don't know honey how to let it go
Em D C Em
How to learn to stand with what I am and what I cannot control
C G C G
'Cause you can tighten up your rope, but you'd be chasing down a ghost
Em G/F# G C D G
And it's not enough to kill you, but it'll get you pretty close
Em G/F# G C D G
No it's not enough to kill you, but it'll get you pretty close
