[Verse 1]
C                                           Em
I know it hurts that we don't touch anymore
C                                                   Em
It's even worse 'cause we built this from the floor
C                                                       Em
It's just as hard for me to know I might see you 'round
C                                              Em
Just as hard for me to worry 'bout reachin' out
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
    F                       Am7                            Dm7 Am7
The more I think about you, the more I keep the ghost alive
          F                            Am7                       Dm7 G
Yeah, the more I think about you, the more I keep the ghost alive
 
 
[Chorus]
  C        C/B           Am7   G
I want you bad, but it's done
    F           Am7          Dm7        G
I'm bleeding out, 'cause we can't go on
  C        C/B           Am7   G
I want you bad, 'til I shake
       F           Am7               Dm7      G
I want what we've had, but what's broken don't unbreak
 
 
[Verse 2]
C                                                Em
Soon as I'm ready to get over you, you call me up
C                                                 Em
Then I crumble when you say you're getting over us
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
        F                           Am7                   Dm7     Am7
But the more I think about you, the more I keep the ghost alive
        F                           Am7                   Dm7      G
Yeah, the more that I'm without you, the less I know if I was right
 
 
[Chorus]
  C        C/B           Am7   G
I want you bad, but it's done
    F           Am7          Dm7        G
I'm bleeding out, 'cause we can't go on
  C        C/B           Am7   G
I want you bad, 'til I shake
    F               Am7            Dm7        G
I want what we've had, but what's broken don't unbreak
 
 
[Bridge]
C          C/B   Am7  C/B
And I won't tell you 
 
C        Dm7     C
what I want to
 
Gsus        G
What I want to
 
C          C/B   Am7  C/B
I'm falling through,   
 
C         Dm7     C
I can't hide it
 
Gsus         G
But I learn to
 
 
[Chorus]
         C        C/B           Am7   G
'Cause I want you bad, but it's done
    F               Am7            Dm7    G
I'm bleeding out, 'cause we can't go on
  C        C/B           Am7   G
I want you bad, 'til I shake
    F               Am7            Dm7        G
I want what we've had, but what's broken don't unbreak
 
 
[Outro]
  C        C/B           Am   G
I want you bad, but it's done
    F       Am7      Dm7        G
I want you bad, but we can't go on
