          D/F#
          G
             C
(9)           G/B
There's a letter on the desktop that I dug out of a drawer
           D/F#
         G
                C
(9)       G/B
The last truce we ever came to from our adolescent war
        D/F#
             G
              C
(9)                   G/B
And I start to feel the fever from the warm air through the screen

              C
(9)         G6/B
The Mississippi's mighty, but it starts in Minnesota
       D
(9)/F#
             G6
               C
(9)           G6/B
At a place that you could walk across with five steps down

(9)/F#
                   G6
            C
(9)           G6/B
And I guess that's how you started like a pinprick to my heart
             D
(9)/F#
                G6
              C
(9)         C(9)
But at this point you rush right through me and I start to drown

  I'm in love with your ghost
       C
(9)    G6/B
        D
(9)/F#
  G6
  I'm in love with your ghost

Dark and dangerous like a secret that gets whispered in a hush
When I wake the things I dreamt about you last night make me blush
When you kiss me like a lover, then you sting me like a viper
I go follow to the river, play your memory like the piper

And I feel it like a sickness, how this love is killing me
But I'd walk into the fingers of your fire willingly
And dance the edge of sanity, I've never been this close
C
(9)        G6/B
       D
(9)/F#
   G6
   In love with your ghost

Pierced my spirit, but I can't touch you

Can you hear it, a cry to be free

   C
      D
      D/C
   G/B
   D
  I'm forever under lock and key as you pass through me

Now I see your face before me, I would launch a thousand ships
To bring your heart back to my island as the sand beneath me slips
As I burn up in your presence, and I know now how it feels
To be weakened like Achilles, with you always at my heels

And my bitter pill to swallow is the silence that I keep
It poisons me, I can't swim free, the river is too deep
Though I'm baptized by your touch, I am no worse at most
   C
(9)  G6/B
       D

[instrumental: repeat and fade]


Notes on some chords:
* If you don't want to play D#dim
 (xx1212), play B7/D# (xx1202) instead;
it doesn't sound much different.
* I think the Girls play F#11
 (244300) where I've written F#7sus4
 & F#7
(x44420 & x44320), and some god-awful G#m
 and Gmaj7 chords where I wrote
E7
 & G.  Do whatever you think works best for you.
* In the chorus, try playing the second half of D
 and D#dim
 (or B7/D#) with
the third fret on the high E string.  It matches the vocals that way.


TAB:

The picking pattern for the intro, first verse, and outro goes like this
(note the continuous D
 note on the third fret of the B string):

  D/F#
            G
                C
(9)            G/B
E --------------------------------|--------------------------------|
B ------3-------3-------3-------3-|------3-------3-------3-------3-|
G --2-------2-------0-------0-----|--0-------0-------0-------0-----|
D ----0-------0-------0-------0---|----2-------2-------0-------0---|
A --------------------------------|3-------3-------2-------2-------|
E 2-------2-------3-------3-------|--------------------------------|
  ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .  ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .   


For the rest of the song, where it goes D
(9)/F#
 G6
 C
(9) G6/B, it's a
little trickier (HINT: the thumb handles all the notes on the E, A, and
D strings):

  D
(9)/F#
         G6
               C
(9)            G6/B
E ------0---------------0---------|------0---------------0---------|
B ----------3---------------3-----|----------3---------------3-----|
G --2-----------2---0-----------0-|--0-----------0---0-----------0-|
D ----0-------0-------0-------0---|----2-------2-------0-------0---|
A --------------------------------|3-------3-------2-------2-------|
E 2-------2-------3-------3-------|--------------------------------|
  ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .  ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .   


And then there's this little fill in the intro and outro:

  D/F#
            G
                C
(9)            G/B
E --------------------------------|3-----2-----3-------------------|
B ----------3-----1-----0---------|----------------3---------------|
G ------0-------------------------|--------------------------------|
D 2/4-------------2-----0---------|--------------------------------|
A --------------------------------|3---------------2---------------|
E --------------------------------|--------------------------------|
  ^   .   ^   .   ^   .   ^   .    ^   .   ^   .   ^   .   ^   .
