Intro: D  D/C#  Bm  Bm/A  G  Asus4  A 
 
 D                                     D/C#      Bm 
He said he had to stop, he hadn't had a drop of anything 
               G 
Stronger than coffee 
            A 
In ten months, three weeks, and one long day 
 D                                        D/C#            Bm 
He pushed away his plate, and said it's better late than never done 
                    G 
When it comes to getting right 
                        A 
It took a while but I saw the light 
 
  Em 
He said some things they cast long shadows 
 D/F# 
That I never will outrun 
  G  
And every day I spend livin' with  
 A                                          D 
Ghosts of all the things that I've done wrong 
  D/C#                 Bm           Bm/A 
Grab a chair 'cuz the list is long 
         G            
I can write you a country song 
                    A 
'Bout the reasons I'll be going home 
                D             D/C# 
To a house full of memories 
                        Bm    Bm/A 
Things I wish I'd done differently 
  Em                                          D/F# 
But when I'm feeling weak they keep me strong 
    G                   A                   D  (intro) 
Ghosts of all the things, that I've done wrong 
 Said there's a spot of paint and it just ain't the right shade 
But it covers up the whole I made 
Where I broke my wrist the night she left 
And there's a lot of friends that I ain't seen in a lot of years 
Some are still hangin' around 
In old pictures I can't take down 
 
He said some things they cast long shadows 
That I never will outrun 
Every day I do battle with 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Yeah, I've got a heart full of memories 
Things I wish I'd done differently 
But when I'm feelin' weak they keep me strong 
Ghosts of all the things, that I've done wrong 
 
He said he had to stop, he hadn't had a drop of anything 
Stronger than coffee 
In ten months, three weeks, and one long day
