[Verse 1]
Youâve been running up and down these halls
Donât you wear it down
You should know that we all know that
youâre still hanging around
[Interlude]
| - - -| - -| - - -|
[Verse 2]
Howling, moaning, clattering chains,
making such a mess
Stop scaring all the pretty girls and
being such a pest
[Pre-Chorus]
You ought to know
You got to go
Donât pretend
Itâs not the end of the line
[Chorus]
N.C
Donât tell me a ghost story
âCause Iâm so tired
Donât wanna be haunted
Wanna be inspired
Yeah, I wanna believe thereâs something
more to look forward to
[Interlude]
| - - -| - -| - - -|
[Verse 3]
You keep showing up in all my dreams and
playing all the parts
I keep opening all of the windows and
hoping youâll depart
[Interlude]
| - - -| - -| - - -|
[Verse 4]
Every night is every night and
sometimes so are the days
Itâs a shame that youâre already dead âcause Iâm
digging you a grave
[Pre-Chorus]
You ought to know
You got to go
Donât pretend
Itâs not the end of the line
[Chorus]
N.C
Donât tell me a ghost story
âCause Iâm so tired
Donât wanna be haunted
Wanna be inspired
Yeah, I wanna believe thereâs something
more to look forward to
[Outro]
And Iâm not scared of you.
