Am        G            F
I saw a ghost on the stairs
     Am            G          F
And sheets on the tables and chairs
     Am          G             F
The silverware swam with the sharks in the sink
     Am            F            G
Even so, I don't know what to think

Dm         C       G
I've been longing for
F           C                G
Daisies to push through the floor
    Dm       C               A#        F
And I wish plant life would grow all around me
   D#           A#          F
So I won't feel dead anymore
   D#           A#          F
So I won't feel dead anymore

Am      G            F
I saw a bear in the den
Am       G             F
Reading my textbooks again
    Am                 G
The bats flowed like traffic,
          F
as they poured from the attic
        Am             F             G
Heaven knows, I could really use a friend

Chorus:
C          Cmaj7           Dm                F
I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest
      C              C         F           G
The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time
C           Cmaj7         Dm           F
Quartet of crickets chime in for the Chorus
Dm             C            F
If I were to pluck on your heartstrings,
       G            Dm
would you strum on mine

I've been longing for
(I've been longing for)
Daisies to push through the floor
(I've never really felt like this before)
And I wish plant life would grow all around me
So I won't feel dead anymore
So I won't feel dead anymore

     Dm         D#       A#              F
Your spirit is sweet, so pull off your sheet
     G#        D#          F
And give me a ghost of a smile
Dm            D#                  A#      F
Show me your teeth 'cause you're teddy beneath
    G#            D#         F
So just grin and bear it a while
 G#            D#         F
Just grin and bear it a while

Chorus:
A#         A#maj7          Cm                D#
I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest
    A#              A#        D#           F
The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time
A#         A#maj7         Cm         D#
Quartet of crickets chime in for the Chorus
   Cm         A#             D#                 F
If I were to pluck on your heartstrings, would you
strum on mine

  Cm        A#      F
Tonight I'm busting out
    Dm       C       G
Of this old haunted house
           Cm       A#      F
'Cause I'm sick of waiting for
         Dm     C       A#        F
All the spider webs to grow all around me
       D#            A#         F
'Cause I don't feel dead anymore
    D#        Gm           F
And I'm not afraid anymore

Chorus:
A#         A#maj7          Cm                D#
I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest
    A#              A#        D#              F
The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time
A#         A#maj7         Cm         D#
Quartet of crickets chime in for the Chorus
   Cm         A#             D#
If I were to pluck on your heartstrings,
      F
would you strum on mine

   Cm         A#             D#
If I were to pluck on your heartstrings,
       F               A#
would you strum on mine
