I see how he travels 
                               D 
Whenever he walks through your mind 
Stirrin' up memories that cloud up your eyes 
          C                          G 
Where the light of our love ought to shine 
I know that he hurt you, hurt you so bad 
   G7                     C 
He must have been goin' insane 
           D 
Well, I've finally learned how to hold you together 
     D7                    G 
When somebody mentions his name 
     C 
He's just a ghost story, so don't let him scare you 
                              G 
He's not really there like he seems 
    D 
And tonight when I hold you, I'll hold you so close 
     D7                         G 
I'll love him right out of your dreams 
Verse 2: 
I know that he's called you 
And told you that our love can't last 
But don't you believe him, 'cause honey, he's wrong 
He's never been right in the past 
So don't let him haunt you, tell you those lies 
He just can't admit that you're free 
So the next time he calls you, just hand me the phone 
And see if he says it to me 
 
(chorus twice)
