[Intro]
G       F#
  Oooh, 
G       F#
  Oooh, 
G       Em C G F#
  Oooh, 
G       Em C G F#
  Oooh, 
[Chorus]
  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,
[Verse]
D             C              G         F#     G 
  You used to bite I used to moan,
D             C             G         F#     G 
  But now you mumble and I 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,
[Chorus]
  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,
[Verse]
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,
  
[Chorus]
  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,
[Bridge]
Am                     G        D
  But even when one is dead and gone,
Am                             G       D
  It still takes two to make a house a home,
Am                       G   D
  I'm as lonesome as the catacombs
C           
  I hear you call my name but no ones there,
           D9
  Except a feeling in the air,
  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,
[Chorus]
                   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
  You and I both know, ooh,
  Oooh.
