Verse 1
[Am]
Tell me a ghost story tonight, my darling
[Am]
The one about a lover lost at sea
[F] [Am]
You know the one I mean where she goes crazy
[F] [C] [G]
When he keeps showing up in every dream
Verse 2
[Am] [C]
Tell me a story that will chill my marrow
[Am] [C]
Tell me a tale to make my skin crawl back
[Fmaj7] [Am]
Something to take my mind out what I'm thinking
[Fmaj7] [C] [G]
Something to save me from this heart attack
Chorus
[F] [F]
I thought I heard a scream, I thought I heard a shot
[Am] [Am]
The rain was crying foul when warning don't get caught
[F] [F]
I thought I saw you run, the moon looked the other way
[Am]
Now here you sit, your hair is wet
[G]
Your eyes are red and I am dying
Verse 3
[Am] [C]
There must be some way to make this ending easy
[Am] [C]
Must be some way to bring the hero home
[Fmaj7] [Am]
A twist of narrative no one sees coming
[Fmaj7] [C] [G]
A blend of mystery and magic bones
Verse 4
[Am] [C]
I need to hear your version right now, darling
[Am] [C]
While everything is fresh inside your head
[Fmaj7] [Am]
And every smell still makes your lowly quiver
[Fmaj7] [C] [G]
Tell me especially the parts I dread
Chorus
[F] [F]
I thought I heard a scream, I thought I heard a shot
[Am] [Am]
The rain was crying foul when warning don't get caught
[F] [F]
I thought I saw you run, the moon looked the other way
[Am]
Now here you sit, your hair is wet
[G] [F]
Your eyes are red and I am dying
