[Verse 1]
E5 G#5
Marry me to the blue sky
A5
Bury me in that long last drop of hard rain
C#5 G#5
Meet me where they stop time
B5
That's you to me on the shovel that's digging this grave
G#5
Till I can waltz on a moonbeam
A5
Till I can find a way to return all tears into wine
E5 G#5
I'll hitch my ride to a day dream
B5 A5
Can't unkiss the lips that love is leaving behind
[Chorus]
E5
I ain't living with the ghost
A5
No future living in the past
C#5
I've seen that hate has done to hop
B5
Tomorrow wasn't built to last
A5
I ain't living with the ghost
C#5
How can I scream, I'm scared to breathe
B5
I wrote each word, you gave the toast
But we were fire and gasoline
A5
I ain't living with the ghost
[Verse 2]
E5 G#5
I set my sails over wheat fields
A5
Rode waves of amber let a new sun shine on my face
C#5 G#5
I dropped the sword, put down my shield
B5
I left your scars for the stars guiding my way
G#5
I traded hurting for healing
A5 E5
I must admit that I was reeling now I'm feeling just fine
G#5
I traded nightmares for dreaming
B5 A5
Go tell your shadows that I got out alive
[Chorus]
E5
I ain't living with the ghost
A5
No future living in the past
C#5
I've seen what hurt has done to hope I found the tree I cut the rope
B5
Tomorrow wasn't built to last
A5
I ain't living with the ghost
C#5
How can I scream, I'm scared to breathe
B5
I wrote each word, you gave the toast
But we were fire and gasoline
A5
I ain't living with the ghost

[Bridge]
A5
Last night I had this dream
F#m B
I saw a man wash his feet in the church holy water
A
He worked up to his knees
C#m B
From his arms to his neck said I'm over in my head
A
He was crying trying to get some relief
F#m
Lord, I'm just trying to get some relief
A
I had this dream
E A C#m B
That man was me
[Chorus]
E5
I ain't living with the ghost
A5
No future living in the past
C#5
I've seen what hurt has done to hope I found the tree I cut the rope
B5
Tomorrow wasn't built to last
A5
I ain't living with the ghost
C#5
How can I scream, I'm scared to breathe
B5
I wrote each word, you gave the toast
But we were fire and gasoline
A5
Now I ain't living with the ghost
