Verse 1:
A minorAm 
C majorC 
FF
The old man next door says his house is haunted
E MajorE A minorAm
He says a ghost keeps him awake
C majorC FF
I think he's having a hard time, to be honest
E MajorE A minorAm
Since his darling passed away
C majorC
But he fears that a phantom
FF E MajorE A minorAm
Has finally found him some nemesis that never quit holding a grudge
C majorC FF
The old man next door says his house is haunted
E MajorE
It's best to be upfront with some tough love
Chorus:
FF C majorC
I said Robert I'm so sorry
G+G
Your house ain't haunted
A minorAm G+G FF
You're just not used to bein' alone
C majorC G+G
Robert all the creaks and shifts are just the sounds you missed
A minorAm G+G FF
When you shared your home
E MajorE
He says: no, no, no, no no no…
Verse 2:
A minorAm C majorC FF
I've had some close calls with falling items
E MajorE A minorAm
I'm duckin' picture frames and dinner plates and all
C majorC FF
All my daily meds: I can never find 'em
E MajorE A minorAm
They're put in places that I never would've done
C majorC FF
And the furniture shifts and it caused me to trip
E MajorE A minorAm
I wake up with my pillow on my face every night
C majorC
It sounds silly but this house is tryin' to kill me
FF
Will you come see? Just stay with me?
E MajorE
Just stay with me one time?
Chorus:
FF C majorC
I said Robert I'm so sorry
G+G
Your house ain't haunted
A minorAm G+G FF
You're just not used to bein' alone
C majorC G+G
Robert all the shifts and creaks are just the signs of grief
A minorAm G+G FF
Now you're living on your own
E MajorE
But okay
I'll go…
Bridge:
A minorAm
And I can't help but feel absurd because nothing
G+G
That I've heard from the downstairs room
A minorAm E MajorE
Is of paranormal origin, it's 4 am, this poor old man is just confused
FF
But wait
A minorAm
I hear footsteps on the stairs
E MajorE
They're gettin' louder and louder Above me They're stomping
FF E MajorE
I pray it's just Robert until I hear him scream my name (NEIGHBOR GUY!)
A minorAm
And I go running up the stairs, jumping three at a time
C majorC
And I'm fully unprepared for the terrors I will find
FF
I burst into the room and by the light of the moon
E MajorE 
E7E7
It's a ghost as real as both me and you
A minorAm
And it wasn't the butler that he sacked without cause
C majorC
Or that surly groundskeeper or that mafia boss
FF
Or his old business partner that he stabbed in the back
E MajorE
Or the ghost of Christmas Future
Present or Past
A minorAm
And it wasn't the guy from the mishap at the zoo
C majorC
Or that other guy from the other mishap at the zoo
FF
No, of all the spooky specters Robert wronged in his life
E MajorE
The ghost floating between us was his darling dead wife
Chorus:
And she said
FF C majorC
Robert
I'm so sorry
G+G
Didn't mean to scare you
A minorAm G+G FF
I'm just not used to bein' alone
C majorC G+G
Robert, ya see, death's a one-way street
A minorAm G+G FF
And I can't find my way back home
C majorC G+G
Robert
I figured I'd just come getcha
A minorAm G+G FF
I thought a haunting might do the trick
C majorC G+G
Robert
I'm sorry
I thought it'd be easier
A minorAm G+G FF E MajorE
I don't remember you bein' this quick…
Outro:
A minorAm C majorC FF
The old house next door's got a sign out front now
E MajorE A minorAm
A augmentedA for sale sign tied to a post
C majorC FF
So, attention shoppers, you can make an offer
E MajorE A minorAm
On a 2 bed, 2 bath and a Ghost
