[Verse 1]
Goodbye was the best thing you told me
Only time that I ever heard the truth
Even now I'm haunted by the whole thing
Can't believe I believed in you

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, ooh-oh
I sing to myself all alone in the dark
And, oh, ooh-oh
I could run, but I won't get far

[Chorus]
'Cause baby, you're the ghost in my guitar
Tugging all the strings inside my heart
And when I try to write you out
I write you down
It's pouring out again
I hear it in my head and there you are
Bringing back the best and the worst parts
And when I try to let you go
You still echo
'Cause baby, you're the ghost in my guitar

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I wanna smash it like a rockstar in a hotel room
Before I tell it all the things that I can't tell you
I wanna burn it down to ashes in the driveway
Set that shit on fire, babe
You don't get to haunt me
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, ooh-oh
I've been telling my friends, and they're calling me crazy
Oh, ooh-oh
I'm believing them lately

[Chorus]
'Cause baby, you're the ghost in my guitar
Tugging all the strings inside my heart
And when I try to write you out
I write you down
It's pouring out again
I hear it in my head and there you are
Bringing back the best and the worst parts
And when I try to let you go
You still echo
'Cause baby, you're the ghost in my guitar

[Bridge]
I don't wanna hear another sad song
I don't want a melody to open the door
I told myself the last was the last one
Well, here's one more

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, ooh-oh
(I don't wanna write another sad song, sad song)
Oh, no-no, no-no
[Chorus]
Baby, you're the ghost in my guitar
Tugging all the strings inside my heart
And when I try to write you out
I write you down
It's pouring out again
I hear it in my head and there you are
Bringing back the best and the worst parts (Best and worst)
And when I try to let you go
You still echo
'Cause baby, you're the ghost in my guitar

[Outro]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Baby, you're the ghost in my guitar
Baby, you're the ghost
You're the ghost in my guitar
