Am 
Today I thought I saw you 
Am 
Standing on the corner 
D 
I was just about to call your name I nearly touched her 
G                    Am          C                D        D 
Then she turned and suddenly it all came crashing down 
C                           Am         Em    Am 
Just my imagination playing tricks in ghost town 
 
 
This morning I lay sleeping 
I heard some footsteps creeping 
Standing right beside me at my bed I felt your breathing 
You said 'Daddy can I come inside and lay my body down?' 
The sun came in, I woke up hard and empty in ghost town 
 
Now I wander everywhere 
Talking to the air 
And every day just like the day before in countless numbers 
And every night the curtain falls upon the day gone down 
and every single town that I pass through is a ghost town
