[Intro] [Loose tambourine, dirty guitar, stomping beat] uuuhm... [Verse 1] You check the weather in my eyes For signs of some approaching lie Interrogate the stars at night Like they owe you an alibi You dust for fingerprints on dreams Read hidden codes in everything A waitress smiles, a stranger waves You hear cathedral bells ring [Pre-Chorus] But honey, every shadow ain't a thief And every silence ain't a loaded gun [Chorus] I don't chase ghosts I come back home You see smoke, I see sky You see goodbye, I see time I don't chase ghosts [Verse 2] You count the footsteps down the hall Like every one could be her call Meanwhile I'm buying milk and bread And trying not to hit the wall You built a courtroom in your head The jury's out, the verdict's read But all the crimes you're solving there Have never happened yet [Pre-Chorus] Honey, every thundercloud ain't rain And every wrong turn ain't a runaway [Chorus] I don't chase ghosts I come back home You see smoke, I see sky You see goodbye, I see time I don't chase ghosts [Guitar reftain] [Bridge] If I was leaving Wouldn't leave clues Wouldn't hide lovers Inside my shoes You're fighting dragons Made out of steam I'm right beside you Swinging at dreams [Guitar solo] [Final Chorus] I don't chase ghosts I come back home You see smoke, I see sky You see goodbye, I see time I don't chase ghosts [Outro] I don't chase ghosts No, I come back home [end]
