Verse 1
      C                 C 
I can see her standing across from our building 
F                    F 
As she makes her way home 
             C                      C 
She puts her hand in her pocket and pulls out her mobile 
    F                      F 
But she doesn't answer her phone 
 
Verse 2
    C                      C 
She steps off the curb and onto the road 
         F                          F 
Then she turns on her heels and she leaves 
C                  C 
Makes her way back up to the station 
  F                             F 
I guess she's got some place to be 
 
Pre-Chorus
                G        G 
She'll take the I train 
             F          F 
The long way home again 
                 Am         Em       F 
She can't handle her and me arguing, breathing the same air 
Am         Em            F                    Dm    Dm 
walking on eggshells and acting like we still care 
 
Chorus
                  G             G 
Let's give up the ghost my dear 
                       F              F 
We've been fighting it too many years 
                  G             G 
Let's give up the ghost my dear 
                     F            F  C  C 
We've got nowhere to go from here 
 
Verse 3
  C                            C 
I walk past the church and the theatre 
         F               F 
I take a left up on Boulevard 
    C                      C 
I'm trying my best to make sense of this mess 
    F                   F 
But I never seem to get far 
 
Verse 4
    C                       C 
The snow's coming down in a flurry 
        F                 F 
And I'm freezing on the inside 
      C                C 
I can see her standing next to our car 
     F                         F 
Lord knows I can't handle that ride 
 
Pre-Chorus
                G        G 
She'll take the I train 
             F          F 
The long way home again 
             Am         Em       F 
Can't handle her and me arguing, breathing the same air 
Am         Em            F                    Dm    Dm 
Walking on eggshells and acting like we still care 
 
Chorus
                  G             G 
Let's give up the ghost my dear 
                       F              F 
We've been fighting it too many years 
                  G               G 
Let's give up the ghost my friend 
                  F             F 
We've got no more time to spend 
 
             Am         Em       F 
Can't handle her and me arguing, breathing the same air 
Am         Em            F                    Dm    Dm 
Walking on eggshells and acting like we still care
