_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] There's a letter on the [G] desktop [C] that I dug out of the [G] drawer, [D] the last truce we [G] ever
came to from [C] our [G] adolescent war.
Then [D] I start to feel [G] a fever [C] from the warm air through [G] the screen.
You [D] come regular like seasons, [C] _ shadowing [E] my _ _ [C] _ _ [G] dreams.
_ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] Mississippi's mighty, and it [C] starts in [G] Minnesota, at [D] a place that you [G] could walk across [D] with
five steps down.
And I guess that's how [G] you started, like a [C]
pinprick to [G] my heart, but at [D] this point
you rush right [G] through me [C] and I start to drown.
And [D] there's not enough [B] room in [Bm] this world for [D] my [A] pain.
[D] Signals [C#] cross and love gets lost [Bm] and time fast makes a flame.
[D] With all my demon [D#]
spirits, I [Bm] need you [A] the _ [C] most.
I'm in [G] love with your [D] _ _ [G] ghost.
[C] I'm in love [G] with your [D] _
ghost.
[G] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _
_ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ Dark [D] and dangerous like a [G] secret, [C] gets whispered in a [G] hush.
When I [D] wake, the things [G] I dreamt about [C] you last night [G] make me blush.
Then [D] you kiss me like [G] a lover, then you sting me like a viper.
Like [D] a wolf followed to [G] the river, [C] lay your memory like a viper.
And [D] I feel it like a [B] sickness, how [Em] this love is killing me.
[D] But I'd walk into [A] the fingers of [Bm] your fire willingly, [D] and dance the edge [D#] of sanity.
[Bm] I've never been this [A] _ [C] close in [Bm] love with your [D] _ [G] ghost.
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ [Em] Unknowing captor, never know how much _ [A]
you is [D] my spirit.
[A] _ I can't [F#] touch you.
Can [Bm] you hear it?
A cry to be [G#] free.
_ [G] _ _ _
_ [B] I'll never unlock [Em] and keep [E] _ [Am] as you _ [C] pass [D] through me.
_ [A] _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ [D] _ Now I see your face before me.
I would launch a thousand [G] ships to bring your [D] heart back to [G] my island.
As the sand beneath me slips, as [D] I burn up in [G] your presence.
And I know now how it feels to [D] be weakened like [G] Achilles.
If you [C] always at my heels, [D] I'm a pitter-patter [B] swallow with [Em] the silence that [A] I keep.
[D] Before [C#] I can sleep, [Bm] the river is too deep.
Though I'm [D] baptized [D#] by your touch, I [Bm] am no worse [A] at [G] most than [C] _ [G] love with your [D] _ _ _
[G] ghost.
[C] Than _ [G] love, not [D] owning [G] my _ [C] dreams.
Than [Bm] love, your _ [D] ghost.
