Verse 1:

Am          F    C
I seen your face before
           G          Am      F
When I was waxin' the kitchen floor
Dm                          E           Am
Your features carved in the faux marble linoleum
E
Cicadas dronin' in the midsummer's lonely
E
Ah, ba-ba-ba-ba
Am                  F     C
On this day, twenty years before
G                           Am          F
I heard the slammin' of the back screen door
Dm                E                 Am
I thought I was accustomed to big surprises
Dm                E        Am
Until I met your faithless ghost

Chorus:

G                                C
She takes a silver comb from her hair
E                        Am
Falls over her shoulders bare
A7                     Dm
Floating from room to room
G                   C
And I was to be her groom
             E
Oh, it ain't fair

Verse 2/3:

Am           F   C
Oh, my sweet entity
G                     Am    F
Why don't you come to visit me?
Dm           E     Am
Instead, you taunt me
E
Listen
I want you to haunt me
E
ba-ba-ba-ba
Am                  F     C
In this, our shared history
G                    Am     F
Who gets to use the apostrophe?
Dm         E              Am
Back door, kitchen floor, vapor rises
Dm            E         Am
Yeah, she's a faithless ghost
Dm             E         Am
Lord, she's my faithless ghost

Bridge:

Am       F     C
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Am             F        C
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Dm             E        Am
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Dm             G        C
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

Chorus:

G                                C
She takes a silver comb from her hair
E                        Am
Falls over her shoulders bare
A7                     Dm
Floating from room to room
G                   C
And I was to be her groom
             E
Oh, it ain't fair

Verse 4:

Am                                    F        C
Your worldly possessions don't mean a thing to me
G                         Am     F
Only thing left within is sanctity
Dm         E              Am
Back door, kitchen floor, vapor rises
Dm              E             Am
I thought I was accustomed to big surprises
Dm         E              Am
Back door, kitchen floor, vapor rises
Dm            E         Am
Yeah, she's a faithless ghost
Dm            E        Am
Mm, she's my faithless ghost
Dm              E
Yeah, she is my faithless
Am          F    C
I seen your face before
