[Verse]
      D                 A                              D                 A
Was a ghost, here in my house, that talks just like it knows everything about
                       D               A                     Bm           D      A
The road, that we went down as it underlies  everything I've kept, that I know inside
           D                      A                       D                        A
My mind is numb, I counterfeit my nerve.  Tell me are you sick of haunting me like this?
               D                           A                          Bm    D                   A
And I R-U-S-T, rust on your version of the truth, a carefully cut out empty space for friends I knew

[Chorus]
D           A                              D
    Another suitcase, of scar shaped souvenirs
              A                                D
That I've collected, every day that you're not here
        A                            Bm       D  A
Another closet, of busted up skeleton   bones
                     Bm      D  A
I'm chasing off your,  ghost

[Refrain]
E                          G                                   D
 Books stacked three stories high, between the pages they will find
            E                  G*
Pictures of you, am I in there  too?

[Verse]
                 D                       A                                 D                         A
Something in the sound, of car wheels at night on a straight shot blacktop road, where I thought I'd find
                    D                    A                     Bm          D    A
The ghost I used to know, it's all in my head.  I never said I want to see you again
                   Bm    D                   A
But that ghost was me,    it's who I used to be
                Bm       D               A
I can't let him go,       I wanna let it go

[Chorus]
D           A                              D
    Another suitcase, of scar shaped souvenirs
              A                                D
That I've collected, every day that you're not here
        A
Another closet, of busted up skeleton

        bones                       bones                     your
