Verse 1: (Power chords)
C                       Am
Johnny took a ticket to London
B                      Em
Jenny took a ticket to Spain
C                         Am
Jenny fell in love with a movie star
    B                   Em
And ran away to live in LA
C                Am
I stayed home to count my luck
    B                      Em
And ended up living like a garbage truck
  C                      Am
I can’t throw away these useless things
     B                   Em
That have no place but I try

Pre-chorus:
      B7
And I try
   G              C
To disregard that lonely life
         Am             Am
But they hang onto your heart
       D
Like a ghost
       D#
Like a ghost

Chorus:
       C               D
I keep running, I keep running
            G          G/F#        Em
But they’re chasing me down like a memory
       C               D
I keep running, I keep running
        G         G/F#           Em
But you never get away from your history
       C
I keep running
         D
Hear the ghosts of the past sing

Verse 2: (Bass guitar)
C                      Am
Can I get peace in the distance
B                  Em
Can I get further away
  C                      Am
I saw you in a suit last Saturday night
    B                        Em
And man I gotta say you have aged
   C                        Am
So tell me what I look like in your eyes
         B               Em
Am I the same enemy that you despise
     C                         Am
Well five years should’ve been long enough
   B                     Em
To forget the past but I try

Pre-chorus:
      B7
And I tried
   G              C
To disregard that lonely life

But they hang onto your heart
       D
Like a ghost
       D#
Like a ghost
