[Verse 1]
A5 C#5
Marry me to the blue sky
D5
Bury me in that long last drop of hard rain
F#5 C#5
Meet me where they stop time
E5
That's you to me on the shovel that's digging this grave
C#5
Till I can waltz on a moonbeam
D5
Till I can find a way to return all tears into wine
A5 C#5
I'll hitch my ride to a day dream
E5 D5
Can't unkiss the lips that love is leaving behind
[Chorus]
A5
I ain't living with the ghost
D5
No future living in the past
F#5
I've seen that hate has done to hop
E5
Tomorrow wasn't built to last
D5
I ain't living with the ghost
F#5
How can I scream, I'm scared to breathe
E5
I wrote each word, you gave the toast
But we were fire and gasoline
D5
I ain't living with the ghost
[Verse 2]
A5 C#5
I set my sails over wheat fields
D5
Rode waves of amber let a new sun shine on my face
F#5 C#5
I dropped the sword, put down my shield
E5
I left your scars for the stars guiding my way
C#5
I traded hurting for healing
D5 A5
I must admit that I was reeling now I'm feeling just fine
C#5
I traded nightmares for dreaming
E5 D5
Go tell your shadows that I got out alive
[Chorus]
A5
I ain't living with the ghost
D5
No future living in the past
F#5
I've seen what hurt has done to hope I found the tree I cut the rope
E5
Tomorrow wasn't built to last
D5
I ain't living with the ghost
F#5
How can I scream, I'm scared to breathe
E5
I wrote each word, you gave the toast
But we were fire and gasoline
D5
I ain't living with the ghost

[Bridge]
D5
Last night I had this dream
Bm E
I saw a man wash his feet in the church holy water
D
He worked up to his knees
F#m E
From his arms to his neck said I'm over in my head
D
He was crying trying to get some relief
Bm
Lord, I'm just trying to get some relief
D
I had this dream
A D F#m E
That man was me
[Chorus]
A5
I ain't living with the ghost
D5
No future living in the past
F#5
I've seen what hurt has done to hope I found the tree I cut the rope
E5
Tomorrow wasn't built to last
D5
I ain't living with the ghost
F#5
How can I scream, I'm scared to breathe
E5
I wrote each word, you gave the toast
But we were fire and gasoline
D5
Now I ain't living with the ghost
