What ghosts exists behind these attic walls? 
B                                                            Emaj7 
There's got to be a simpler explanation 
                      B 
Because I scrimped and I saved 
                                                                                         
Emaj7       B 
Just to find that they've been splicing my inventions 
Emaj7 
Cold skin and bones and this latitude 
B

We ain't paying until the heat comes through 
                        B 
So you slept in a stocking cap and wool scarf 
 
Emaj7             D# 
Promises of payments were 
B 
Upon your shoulders constantly 
Emaj7                       D# 
But don't forget to entertain because 
G#m/C#        F#sus4    E/B 
this is your first defense 
 
Emaj7 
A four-year offense to the devoted type 
B                                                                         Emaj7 
I may have got an invitation, but I wasn't invited 
             B 
But I thought that this meant something more 
                                                                    Emaj7       B 
Than broken hearts and new addictions 
Emaj7 
We'll leave our sins within the carpet twine 
B                                                                                
      Emaj7 
Our bodies will dissolve the chemicals in due time 
 
Emaj7             D# 
Promises of payments were

Emaj7                       D#

G#m/C#        F#sus4    E/B

G#m/C#       F#sus4     E/B 
This is my LAST defense!
