C#5                   A5
My eyes opened to the emptiness.
E5                      B5
My face was nothing but crooked lines.
C#5           B5           A5
I guess somewhere I really fell behind.
C#5                           A5
My feet were cold against the bathroom tile.
E5                    B5 
Took a shower just to pass the time.
C#5         B5                A5
My mind was full, too much to figure out.

                 C#5       B5                A5
Walk through the snow to a bar where there's no one I know.
       C#5        B5        A5
Drink slow, drink slow with nowhere to go.

And when I leave I'll be singing this song.        Summer's
e|---------------4-----------7----------4-------------------|
B|--------/5----------5--4-------4----2---2--4h5p0-2--0-----|

          gone, carry on, I'm a ghost in the dawn.

E5    B5          A5
I was lost on the airplanes.
E5    B5          A5
I was high on the fast trains.
   C#5          B5       A5
My heart was a bird in a small cage.
E5         B5          C#5   A5 
And I was drunk on the radio waves.
       E5           B5           C#5   A5
I was drunk, I was drunk on the radio waves.

                         A5
Too much coffee I’m not steady now.
E5                        B5
Quiet apartment, ears are ringing loud.
C#5        B5                 A5
The winter drowns out all the city sounds.
C#5                     A5
Hang my towel over the shower rod. 
E5                 B5
So many hours just hanging on.
C#5      B5          A5
So many chances have come and gone.

C#5          A5             E5            B5
And all this time passed me by and I was trapped here waiting.
C#5            A5              E5             B5
Sometimes the truth is hard to find and I was scared of changing.
C#5  B5      A5       C#5   B5      A5
What will it say on my snow-covered grave?
E5         B5             C#5      B5   A5
"He had it all, he let it all just slip away."


                 C#m       B                 A 
Walk through the snow to a bar where there's no one I know.
       C#m        B         A 
Drink slow, drink slow with nowhere to go.
           C#m           B            A 
And when I leave I'll be singing this song.

Summer's gone, carry on, I'm a ghost in the dawn.
