Intro
A jump scare with Amaj7sus#5 calms down with an arpeggio over Amaj7.
Part A
Amaj7 arpeggios end with lyric-synced strums.
Amaj7 / / /
Once more, we find ourselves inside these halls
Amaj7 / / /
Where ghosts and poltergeists haunt ev- -ery wall
Cmaj7 / / /
We always give away the things we love
G G/F#
To keep the ghouls a- -way,
Em A Amaj7
Though we are fools to stay
Amaj7 / / /
And now our vices have us here a- -gain
Amaj7 / / /
These beasts around us never were pre- -tend
Cmaj7 / / /
We're both victims of the spooks a- -bove
G G/F#
Their fingers send us shivers,
Em A Amaj7
Then grab hold of our livers

The usual haunts - they tear us
