[Verse 1]
C                 G                  C
Take a walk in a ghost town
Dm                 Am                 G
The sky is as black as crows
Em7                                                 Am
They don’t make cars like they used to here
F                 Am
Times, they change
F                 Am        G
And factories close

C                 G                 C
Take a ride on a ghost train
Dm         Am                 G
Stare at the windows
Em7                                                 Am
See, time moves fast as a hurricane
F                 Am
But it’s so strange
F                      Am
It feels so slow

[Chorus]
G                                                 C
But sometimes it gets so cold down here
F                                 C
Well I swear it burns
G                                                 C                                 F
The wind like fire coming off of the Great Lakes
G                                                    C
Sometimes it gets so dark in here
F                 C
Hey, I see it turn
G                                 C                                 F
The emptiness that moves within my soul
F
We’re down in a ghost town

[Verse 2]
C                                 G
See the crash in the rust
C
See the ash in the dust
Dm                 Am                                 G
Feel it slipping through your hands
Em7                                 Am
Falling on the shoes and the shoulders
F                 Am
Of the ragged man
C                                 G
See the pride and the shame
C
Like fire and the flame
Dm                 Am                 G
Well, it burns through every man
Em7                                 Am
And drops them like drunken soldiers
F                 Am
On the river banks

[Chorus]
G                                 C
Well, sometimes it gets so cold down here
F
Hey I swear it burns
G                                                 C                                 F
The wind like fire coming off of the Great Lakes
G                                 C
Sometimes it gets so dark in here
F
Well I see it turn
G                                 C                                 F
The emptiness that moves within my soul
F
We’re down in a ghost town

[Chorus]
G                                                 C
Well, sometimes it gets so cold down here
F
Hey, I swear it burns
G                                 C                                 F
The wind like fire coming off of the Great Lakes
G                                 C
Sometimes it gets so dark in here
F
Oh, I see it turn
G                                 C                                 F
The emptiness that moves within my soul
F
We’re down in a ghost town
