Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

I saw a ghost on the stairs

And sheets on the tables and chairs

The silverware swam with the sharks in the sink

Even so, I don't know what to think

I've been longing for

Daisies to push through the floor

And I wish plant life would grow all around me

So I won't feel dead anymore

So I won't feel dead anymore

I saw a bear in the den

Reading my textbooks again

That bats flowed like traffic as they poured from the attic

Heaven knows, I could really use a friend

I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest

The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time

Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus

If I were to pluck on their heartstrings would you strum on mine?

Instrumental

x2):

I've been longing for

Daisies to push through the floor

And I wish plant life would grow all around me

So I won't feel dead anymore

So I won't feel dead anymore

Your spirit is sweet, so pull off your sheet

And give me a ghost of a smile

Show me your teeth 'cause you're teddy beneath

So just grin and bear it a while

Just grin and bear it a while

I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest

The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time

Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus

If I were to pluck on their heartstrings would you strum on mine?

Instrumental

x2):

To-night I'm busting out

Of this old haunted house

'Cause I'm sick of waiting for

All the spider webs to grow all around me

'Cause I don't feel dead anymore

And I'm not afraid anymore

I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest

The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time

Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus

If I were to pluck on their heartstrings would you strum on mine?
