	In a castle	dark or a	fortress strong - With	chains upon my	feet - You	know that ghost is	me;

	C	G/B	Am7	D	G		Fmaj7		G
And	I will never	be set free - As	long as I'm a	ghost that you can't	see.

	G	Em	C	D	Em	C	G
	When you reach the	part where the	heartaches come, The	hero would be	me. But	heroes often	fail!

	C	G/B	Am7	D	G		Fmaj7		G
And	you won't read that	book again - Be	cause the ending's	just too hard to	take.

	G	Em	C	D	Em
	I'd walk a	way like a	movie star - Who get's	burned in a three way	script.

	C	G	C	G/B
	Enter number	two - A	movie queen to	play the scene

	Am7	D	G	C	G/B
Of	bringing all the	good things out in	me! But for	now love, let's be	real;

	C	G/B	Am7	D
I	never thought I could	act this way - And I've	got to say that I	just don't get it;

	C	G/B	Am7	D	G
	I don't know where	we went wrong - But the	feeling's gone - And I	just can't get it	back.

	G	Em	C	D	Em	C	G
	In a castle	dark or a	fortress strong - With	chains upon my	feet. But	stories always	end,

	C	G/B	Am7	D	G
And	if you read	between the lines - You'll	know that I'm just	tryin' to under	stand:

	C	G/B	C	G/B
The	feelin's that you	lack. I	never thought I could	feel this way,

	Am7	D	C	G/B
And I've	got to say that I	just don't get it -	I don't know where	we went wrong,

	Am7	D	G		Fmaj7		G
	But the feelin's gone - And I	just can't get it	back.
