A                     F#m   Esus4
Dancing in the streetlight
         D             A   F#m   Esus4   D
With the rain upon my head
  A                    F#m   Esus4
I drank another barrel dry
            D              A   F#m   Esus4   D
Now can you help me to my bed


[Pre-Chorus 1]
D                            Bm
  And come a little closer now
                        A   Asus2   A   Asus2
Come a little closer now
D                             Bm
  I need someone to show me how
                           E   Esus4   E
I need someone to show me how


[Chorus 1]
               Bm                   D
'Cause I am a father caught in the fire
         A                     E
I'm so alone, a ghost in the dark
      Esus4    Bm                   D
Yeah, I am a teacher, and I am a preacher
                   A                          E
I'll still be the one that's torn from the start
           Esus4          D   E
I'm just a ghost in the dark


[Verse 2]
 A                   F#m   Esus4
Sleeping at the bus stop
 D               A   F#m   Esus4   D
Another classic mess
  A                       F#m   Esus4
I hope that someone wakes me up
  D                 A   F#m   Esus4   D
Before I freeze to death


[Pre-Chorus 2]
D                       Bm
  Can anybody take me home
                        A   Asus2   A   Asus2
Could anybody take me home
D                              Bm
 'Cause I don't wanna sleep alone
                   E   Esus4   E
I don't wanna be alone


[Chorus 2]
       Esus4   Bm                   D
'Cause I am a father caught in the fire
         A                     E
I'm so alone, a ghost in the dark
    Esus4    Bm                   D
And I am a teacher, and I am a preacher
                   A                    E
I'll still be the one that's falling apart
    Esus4    Bm                 D
And I am a docter, and I am a lawyer
                   A                          E
I'll still be the one that's torn from the start
    Esus4    Bm                      D
And I am a soldier, and I'm getting older
       A                       E
Everyday I'm slouched at the bar
           Esus4          D   E
I'm just a ghost in the dark
                       D      E
I'm just a ghost in the dark


[Outro]
A                     F#m   Esus4
Dancing in the streetlight
         D
With the rain upon my head
