Introdução: Bmaj7    Bbm7    Ebm7    Abm7

Bmaj7        Bbm7           Ebm7
Her ghost is six or so feet tall
        Abm7
and the lights in the house are dim
Bmaj7           Bbm7               Ebm7
his voice still echoes through the hall
              Abm7
she can't get away from him

Bmaj7    Bbm7    Ebm7    Abm7 - Bbm7


Bmaj7        Bbm7           Ebm7
I clear the couch off and I sit
                 Abm7      Bbm7
she hangs up the phone and then
Bmaj7        Bbm7             Ebm7
she says she can't believe he quit
                    Abm7 Bbm7
but I know he'll be back again

Abm        E      Db7
Every hour on the hour

B          Bb7               Ebm7       Bbm7 Abm7   Bbm7
He will reappear and make it clear that he's around
B                     Bbm7           Ebm7            Dbm7   Cmaj7   B
It's not your average social call he does it all without    a       sound

Bmaj7        Bbm7              Ebm7
Her ghost is propped up in the hall
             Abm7 Bbm7
he speaks no evil there
Bmaj7      Bbm7         Ebm7
he doesn't notice me at all
            Abm7  Bbm7
I find it a bit unfair
Bmaj7         Bbm7             Ebm7
I'm bathed in shadow from that wall
              Abm7     Bbm7
I know he'll be in the air

Abm        E      Db7
Every hour on the hour

B                    Bb7              Ebm7      Bbm7     Abm7   Bbm7
She'll watch her apperition stare her down then pass her by
B               Bbm7            Ebm7            Dbm7   Cmaj7   Bm
and I've no ammunition, I'm the one who's being ex     or      cised

Bmaj7   Bbm7    Ebm7    Abm7 (4x)

Abm        E
Every hour on the hour

Abm          E      Db7
every moment all my power

B                Bb7            Ebm7       Bbm7      (N.C.)
And everywhere I turn I turn to learn that she's got memories that never burn
B              Bbm7             Ebm7             Dbm7   Cmaj7
and this is of concern and I prepare to go cause this I know
B                       Bb7               Ebm7     Bbm7  Abm7   Bbm7
that though he's out of sight he's in her mind and in my hair
B                  Bbm7              Ebm7       Dbm7   Cmaj7
I'm tiring of this fight besides its getting me no     where

Bmaj7           Bbm7          Ebm7
Her ghost makes all of this occure
           Abm7
he does it breathlessly
Bmaj7      Bbm7             Ebm7
so long as he's the life in her
             Abm7
he'll be the death of me.
