Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]
Dearest [G]Emma, there's a

[Verse 1]
[F]
ghost in the town
[C]A gho[F]st in the tow[C]n from
where [G]you came[Am]
Dearest Emma,
there [G]are [F]cracks on [C]the wall
[F]Voices in the [C]hall that can't es[G]cape

[Verse 2]
[Am]Can you rememb[G]er when
we [F]all [C]were young
When we [F]all were much
[C]younger than [G]today?
[Am]And have you no ti[G]ced all
[F]the signs on [C]the road
Causing [F]all who [C]pass to know
to [G]please be safe?

[Verse 3]
And I [F]won't keep [G]quiet for the
harm [Am]I've caused
And I [F]can't read [G]wrinkles on [C]your face
And I [F]don't have [G]penance
for the [C]things [G]I've [Am]done
I can[G]'t explain

[Verse 4]
[Am]There is a photo[G] on the dash[F] of our car[C]
That has [F]recently gone
[C]dark from all [G]the sun
[Am]Could you imagine [G]if our
[F]skin were [C]to fall
Would the [F]world just be appalled
[C]at what we'[G]ve don[Am]e?
Dearest [G]Emma, there's a ghost

[Verse 5]
[F]in our tow[C]n
A [F]ghost in the [C]town from
[G]where you came[Am]
All [G]the nights that [F]the dogs
wouldn't [C]bark
[F]I stare with no re[C]mark,
[G]a cryin' shame

[Verse 6]
There's a [F]crack in the [G]center of our
[C]kit[G]chen [Am]floor
[F]And I'm curious of [G]what it could des[C]troy
As I reach [F]my [G]hand into the [C]dark [G]be [Am]low
I hear your [G]voice
[Am]

[Verse 7]
[Em]An d[F][C][Em][G][Am]
[Em][F][C][Em][G][Am]
[Em][F][C][Em]
[G][Am][Em][F][C]
[Em]if y[G]ou want me[C], like I want yo[G]u
[Am]A slow escape of all that's made
[F]Our purest stolen vir[G]tue
And [C]if you need me, like I need you
Then [G]that ghost that bore it
self below
Won't bother me, [C]and babe,
[Em]it won't bother you
