A  A2    E     C#m      B      E
In this country at any given time
           A             A2      E
There are two million empty houses
    C#m               B    E
And one of them once was mine
           A                   A2      E
There were twelve million spirits drifting
   C#m              B     E
In twelve million empty rooms
                      A
Waving their ghostly arms at the stars
A2                            C#m            B     E
And howling sad songs by the light of a crescent moon
           B                        C#m
Yeah they claw at the air and they scream
                        A
But they don't make a sound
              B                             C#m
Should've exercised the demons and their secrets
                   A
While they were 'round


Chorus

E                                 B                       A
Don't you think it's funny how quickly things can turn around

E                                 B                       A
All our lives are drifting like ghosts inside and empty house

B                          C#m                   A
Everything is falling to pieces and its just as well

B                                      C#m                      A
Because every little piece of heaven brings a little piece of hell

Outro
              A
So you might find yourself drifting
A                      A                 A
Like a ghosts inside empty house after empty house
       A                  B                          E
Looking for someone but lately finding not a soul to tell
