  Oooh, 
G (Choke the G at the start of the singing)
  Oooh, 


  Well, 
G          Em                 C        G         F# 
  You and I both know that the house is haunted,
G                Em              C        G      F#
  And you and I both know that the ghost is me, 
G                       Em             C             G         F#
  Used to catch me in your bedsheets just rattling your chains,
G
  Well back then baby it didn't seem so strange,

                                           
D           C              G        F#     G
  I used to bite I used to moan,              
D           C              G        F#     G
  But now I mumble and you choke,          
D               C           G      F#     G
  Now I aint so scary on my own,
  Tell me honey what's a dagger without a cloak,
  I don't know,

  Cause, 
G          Em                 C        G         F#
  You and I both know that the house is haunted,
G                 Em              C        G      F#
  And you and I both know that the ghost is me, 
G                         Em             C             G         F#
  Used to catch me in your bedsheets just rattling your chains,
G
  Well back then baby it didn't seem so strange,
                                          *
D                 C             G      F# G
  In the midnight hour you came alive,*
D                 C          G    F#  G
  I had to go get my crystal ball,
G
  Gotta find that snake,                
D                   C                   G
  When the sun came up we couldn't find no place to hide,
D  
  And you had to tell your friends that my fangs were fake, I had to,            
     F#     G
  That's so messed up,
  

  Cause,
G          Em                 C        G         F#
  You and I both know that the house is haunted,
G                 Em              C        G      F#
  And you and I both know that the ghost is me, 
G                         Em             C             G         F#
  Used to catch me in your bedsheets just rattling your chains,
G
  Well back then baby it didn't seem so strange,


Am                     C        Em7
  But even when one is dead and gone,
Am                             C       Em7
  It still takes two to make a house a home,
Am                       C   Em7
  I'm as lonesome as the catacombs
Am            
  I hear you call my name but no ones there,
           Em7/4 
  Except a feeling in the air,

*Strum strings muted in this part*

  Cause, you and I both know that the house is haunted,
  Yeah you and I both know that the ghost is you,
  You should walk around screaming oh slamming all them doors,
D  
  Well I'm all grown up now I don't scare easy no more,


                   G         Em C G F#
  Cause, you and I both know,
            G         Em C G F#
  You and I both know, ooh,
            G         Em C G F#
  You and I both know, ooh,
            G         Em C G F#
  You and I both know, ooh,
