Verse 1:
C             Em    Am            G            Am *
  I'm getting tired   of watching other people go
C                Em                     Am
The lights on my street never come o - -n
        G             Am *riff
And the lines are overgrown

Pre-Chorus:
     F
It's obvious now that I've been forgotten
    Am                G
The hollow houses and vacant lots and
    F
The shattered windows and splintered doors
    Am                          G
How long have I been here all a-lone?


Chorus:
F
Here I am again the one who gets
       Am                        G
Left behind, left behind, left behind
        F
Settled in, had a plan
      Dm
But I never factored in
Am                       G
Everyone else saying goodbye


Bridge:
     F
This ghost town is making a ghost of me
     Am                           G
This ghost town is making a ghost making a ghost of me


Interlude:
  C                                             Am *

Verse 2:
C            Em     Am           G              Am *
  I promised myself I'd learn to be the one who leaves
C            Em              Am
With no more roots to tie me down
            G                 Am *
It's just a different kind of lonely


Pre-Chorus:
       F
So I'm back to pulling arms and begging and begging
Am
For the love of God
               G
Don't leave me here again


Chorus:
F
Here I am again the one who gets
       Am                        G
Left behind, left behind, left behind
        F
Settled in, had a plan
      Dm
But I never factored in
Am                       G
Everyone else saying goodbye


Bridge:
     F
This ghost town is making a ghost of me
     Am                           G
This ghost town is making a ghost making a ghost of me
F
They shake me off and ask why I bother
    Am
The answer is simple:
   G
My father, his father-
  F
I come from a long line of people who believe
       Am
In the flowers that grow
       G
In the cracks in the street
       F    Am  G
Here I am
       F    Am  G
Here I am


Outro:
C
