[Verse 1]
Am C
The old man next door says
F
his house is haunted
E Am
He says a ghost keeps him awake
C
I think he's having a hard time,
F
to be honest
E Am
Since his darling passed away
C
But he fears that a phantom
F
Has finally found him some nemesis
E Am
that never quit holding a grudge
C
The old man next door
F
says his house is haunted
E
It's best to be upfront
with some tough love

[Chorus]
F C
I said Robert I'm so sorry
G
Your house ain't haunted
Am G F
You're just not used to bein' alone
C
Robert all the creaks and shifts
G
are just the sounds you missed
Am G F
When you shared your home
E
He says: no, no, no, no no no

[Verse 2] Am C I've had some close calls F with falling items E I'm duckin' picture frames Am and dinner plates and all C All my daily meds: F I can never find 'em E They're put in places that Am I never would've done C And the furniture shifts and F it caused me to trip E I wake up with my pillow Am on my face every night C It sounds silly but this house is tryin' to kill me F Will you come see? Just stay with me? E Just stay with me one time? [Chorus] F C I said Robert I'm so sorry G Your house ain't haunted Am G F You're just not used to bein' alone C Robert all the shifts and creaks G are just the signs of grief Am G F Now you're living on your own E But okay, I'll go…

[Bridge] Am And I can't help but feel absurd because nothing G That I've heard from the downstairs room Am Is of paranormal origin, it's 4 am, E this poor old man is just confused F But wait Am I hear footsteps on the stairs E They're gettin' louder and louder Above me They're stomping F I pray it's just Robert until I hear E him scream my name (NEIGHBOR GUY!) Am And I go running up the stairs, jumping three at a time C And I'm fully unprepared for the terrors I will find F I burst into the room and by the light of the moon E It's a ghost as real E7 as both me and you Am And it wasn't the butler that he sacked without cause C Or that surly groundskeeper or that mafia boss F Or his old business partner that he stabbed in the back E Or the ghost of Christmas Future, Present or Past Am And it wasn't the guy from the mishap at the zoo C Or that other guy from the other mishap at the zoo F No, of all the spooky specters Robert wronged in his life E The ghost floating between us was his darling dead wife [Chorus] And she said F C Robert, I'm so sorry G Didn't mean to scare you Am G F I'm just not used to bein' alone C Robert, ya see, G death's a one-way street Am G F And I can't find my way back home C Robert, I figured G I'd just come getcha Am I thought a haunting G F might do the trick C Robert, I'm sorry, G I thought it'd be easier Am I don't remember G F E you bein' this quick… [Outro] Am C The old house next door's F got a sign out front now E Am A for sale sign tied to a post C So, attention shoppers, F you can make an offer E Am On a 2 bed, 2 bath and a Ghost
