Ghosts Tab

by Jake Owen


Verse 1:
           
He said he had to stop 

Hadn't had a drop 
   
Of anything 
             
Stonger than coffee 
               
In 10 months 3 weeks and 1 long day 

He pushed away his plate 

Said its better late 
     
Then never done 

When it comes 
   
To gettin right 
                      
It took a while but I saw the light 

Bridge: 
            
He said somethings they cast long shadows 
       
That I never will out run 
         
And everyday I spend a-livin' 
         
With ghosts of all the things that I've done... 

Chorus: 

Wrong 
                       
Grab a chair cause the list is long 
                  
I can write you a country song 
                  
About the reasons I'll be going home 
                   
To a house full of memories 
                     
Things I wish I done differently 
                 
When I'm feeling weak the keep me strong 
                                        
The ghost of all the things that I've done wrong 

He said theres a spot of paint 

And it just ain't 
    
The right shade 
                     
But it covers up the hole I made 
                 
Where I broke my wrist the night she left 
And theres a lot of friends 
             
That I ain't seen in a lot of years 
               
Some are still hangin' around 
                  
In old pictures I can't take down 

Bridge: 
              
He said some things they cast long shaddows 
       
That I never will out run 
        
And everyday I do battle 
         
With the ghost of all the things I've done... 

Chorus:  , , , 
                      
I got a heart full of memories 
                     
Things I wish I done differently 
                     
And when I'm feeling weak they keep me strong 
                   
The ghost of all the things... 
          
I've done wrong 

He said he had to stop 

Hadn't had a drop 
   
Of anything 
             
Stonger than coffee 
               
In 10 months 3 weeks and 1 long day
