X6 

I would ask you how youve been, its all  
over the internet 
But hey i mean we knew that after all 
If youre looking for an autopsy or a  
half-asked half-apology then i think you  
picked the wrong time to make this call 

It is not irrelevant that you stopped  
taking your medicine 
But im givin you the benefit cause its  
rainin out 
Ill tell you how the weather is and  
youll slip in to some elequently  
ramblin mixed messagin 
I should shut you down

But its cold, and its cold, and its  
cold, and its cold, and its cold 

And I dont know, Im alone, Im alone,  
Im alone, Im alone

X4 

I hope you tell me that you're windin'  
down 
That you lost the taste to face the crowd 
That whatever made you famous made you  
sick 

That you can only do what pain allows 
It ain't up to you to make it out 
And there ain't no shame in callin'  
this thing quits

But you don't, and you don't, what you  
don't, and you don't, and you don't 

You're a ghost, you're a ghost,  
you're a ghost, you're a ghost,  
and you're-

Poison spreadin' to my lungs 
I ain't holdin' breath, ain't holdin'  
any faith at all 
And I'll pray for you, be in pain for you 
I'll leave the porch light on 
Heartbroken, each mornin' when it's me  
that turns it off 
So it goes, so it goes, so it goes

X4 

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

You're a ghost, you're a ghost,  
you're a ghost, you're a ghost,  
you're a ghost 

And I choke, and I choke, and I choke,  
and I choke on the-

aint a banjo}
