F#6             Csus2 
I threw out the photographs  
Dmaj7           F#6 
Like yesterdays flowers  
F#6             Csus2 
I tried to erase the past  
Dmaj7           F#6 
But it won't go away  
 
B                   C# 
And those where the curtains  
Bbm          D#m    
That you had made  
B             C# 
One thing's for certain  
Dmaj7         F#6 
The ghost of you stays

I painted the second room  
Dmaj7           F#6 
And cleared out the basement  
F#6             Csus2 
And smelled some of your perfume  
Dmaj7           F#6 
On the scarf that you made  
 
B             C#      Bbm          D#m 
The Salvation Army collected your things  
B             C#      Bbm          D#m 
I gave them the jewellery, all the bracelets and rings  
B              C#     Bbm          D#m 
Your clothes in black bin bags I gave them away  
B             C#      Dmaj7         F#6 
I tried to move on but the ghost of you stays  
Dmaj7         F#6 
The ghost of you stays  
Dmaj7         F#6         B 
The ghost of you stays

I tried to erase the past  
Dmaj7           F#6 
But it won't go away  
 
B             C# 
I wake in the morning  
Bbm          D#m 
And try to be brave  
B             C# 
But it's hard to move on  
Dmaj7         F#6 
When the ghost of you stays
