Intro 

Em  G  Am  G 


verse 1 

Em 
   I think I'm in despair, the wind is in the trees  
                                                           G 
   Basically, just waiting for something to come along and eat me  
Am 
   Is this future's gate, where my dreams retreat  
                                            G 
   And all my memories are just memories of memories?  


Em 
   And a-folded in a dream, pitch-black and glowing blue  
                                            G                               
   A raven saying, “I know a way that I can help you” 
        Am 
   Oh-oh, I stared into his eyes, I saw my pale last days  
                                             G 
   Said, “What you can't escape, you gotta embrace” 


        Em                                                 G 
   Ah-oh, I know a way to get back, this don't have to end  
Am                                                G 
   A way to get back, and haunt them, haunt them, haunt them  

Em  G  Am  G 


verse 2 

Em 
   Then he wished me plain, as he flew away  
                                             G 
   Said I'd see him coming on that pale last day  
Am 
   And he wished me plain, ordinary death  
                                     G 
   Said he'd be back after I escaped it  


      G                                                         
   Oh, I've seen how they are, how they'd all sell their souls  
Em           Em/F#           Em                               
   In little bits and pieces, ‘til they get old  
                          G 
   They don't make a dent, in indifference  
Em       Em/F#                 Em 
   We'll haunt them, haunt them, haunt them 


Musical Interlude 


Em                                           G 
   But I want to go back, if this is the end  
Am                                                    G  
   I want to go back, not to “haunt them, haunt them, haunt them” 
Em                    G   
   Not to haunt them, haunt them  
Am                    G 
   Not to haunt them, haunt, haunt  
Em                    G 
                      Haunt them, haunt them 

Am                    G 

Em
