🎸 Intro:

Em    C   Em
             mmm
Em    C   Em

🎸 Verse 1:
Em                                    C
I would ask you how you've been, it's all over the internet
     Em
But, hey, I mean, we knew that after all
          Em                           C
If you're lookin' for an autopsy or a half-***** half-apology
       Em
Then I think you picked the wrong time to make this call
🎸 Verse 2:
Em                          C
It is not irrelevant that you stopped takin' your medicine
        Em
But I'm givin' you the benefit 'cause it's rainin' out
     Em                                  C
I'll tell you how the weather is and you'll slip into some eloquently
Em
Ramblin' mixed-messagin', I should shut you down
🎸 Chorus:
              C
But when it's cold, and it's cold,
                         Em
and it's cold, and it's cold
            C
And I don't know, I'm alone, I'm alone,
                Em
I'm alone, I'm a-lone
🎸 Verse 3:
           Em
I hope you tell me that you're windin' down,
          C
that you lost the taste to face the crowd
         Em
That whatever made you famous made you sick
            Em
But you can only do what pain allows,
          C
it ain't up to you to make it out
      Em
There ain't no shame in callin' this thing quits
🎸 Chorus:
        C
But you don't, and you don't, but you don't,
                       Em
and you don't, and you don't
         C
You're a ghost, you're a ghost,
                                      Em
you're a ghost, you're a ghost, and you're—
🎸 Chorus:
      G          D          C
Poiso--n spreadi--n' to my lungs
      Em            G
I ain't holdin' breath,
              D             C
ain't holdin' any faith at a-ll
      Em              G
And I'll pray for you, be in pain for you,
       D                   C
I'll leave the porch light on
Em           G
  Heartbroken,
                       D                 C
each mornin' when it's me that turns it o-ff
🎸 Post-chorus:
      C                       Em    C   Em
So it goes, so it goes, so it goes

🎸 Verse 4:
    Em                                C
You act like we just sit up here and wait for you to reappear
     Em
But, baby, there are bills to pay and your dad's road needs salt
      Em                                 C
And I try to drown out all the talk, the eyeballs in the parkin' lots
         Em
And tell people it ain't me you want, but I guess you're my fault
🎸 Chorus:
         C
You're a ghost, you're a ghost,
                                         Em
you're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost
      C
And I choke, and I choke,
                               Em
and I choke, and I choke on the—.

🎸 Chorus:
      G          D          C
Poiso--n spreadi--n' to my lungs
      Em            G
I ain't holdin' breath,
              D             C
ain't holdin' any faith at a-ll
      Em              G
And I'll pray for you, be in pain for you,
       D                   C
I'll leave the porch light on
Em           G
  Heartbroken,
                       D                 C
each mornin' when it's me that turns it o-ff
🎸 Post-chorus:
      C                       Em    G   D   C
So it goes, so it goes, so it goes          

🎸 Bridge:
Em   G   D   C
             

🎸 Chorus:
Em      G          D          C
  Poiso--n spreadi--n' to my lungs
      Em            G
I ain't holdin' breath,
              D             C
ain't holdin' any faith at a-ll
      Em              G
And I'll pray for you, be in pain for you,
       D                   C
I'll leave the porch light on
Em           G
  Heartbroken,
                       D                 C
each mornin' when it's me that turns it o-ff
🎸 Post-chorus:
      C                       C
So it goes, so it goes, so it goes
