[Chorus]
    D                G      A
Oh, these times have got me drinking
       D        G      A
As I’m tripping up the stairs
      D     G         A
To an empty room left haunted
     G         A          D
By a ghost who once lived there
        G        A      D
Now I’m tripping up the stairs
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
D                         A
Through a sea of faceless bottles
        D             G    A
And the stench of the afternoon
  D       G       A
I crawl into this coffin
           G      A      D    G A   D G A   D G A   G A D
Sure I was dead before I knew
 
 
[Verse 1]
Bm                  G
Morning starts with sunset
       D                 A
As the darkness fills my eye
     Bm                  G
It’s been so long since another soul
A
Occupied this life
     Bm                     G
So I head downstairs to a familiar friend
       D              A
Who’ll comfort, maybe talk
 Bm                  G
About our roads less travelled
           A
And to the best times we ever had
A
And to the best times we ever had
 
 
[Chorus]
      D          G      A
These times have got me drinking
       D        G      A
As I’m tripping up the stairs
      D     G         A
To an empty room left haunted
     G         A          D
By a ghost who once lived there
 
 
[Verse 2]
Bm                G
Peace be with the troubled
       D                       A
As the these times now make it clear
Bm                    G
Try forget until it’s over
         A
When the last call splits your ear
 
 
[Chorus]
      D          G      A
These times have got me drinking
       D        G      A
As I’m tripping up the stairs
      D             G       A
Never asked for the perfect saviour
      G      A        D
Never wanted though I cared
        G        A      G
Now I’m tripping up the stairs
 
 
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
        Bm       G
So I’ll crucify another
   D             A
To nail away the fear
          Bm                G
But don’t pity me, I’m just broken
              A
Who’ll be the next brave volunteer
A
Who’ll be the next brave volunteer
 
 
[Chorus]
      D          G      A
These times have all us drinking
         D        G      A
As we're tripping up the stairs
      D     G         A
To an empty room left haunted
     G         A          D
By a ghost who once lived there
      D          G      A
These times have got me drinking
       D        G      A
As I’m tripping up the stairs
      D           G       A
Never asked for a perfect saviour
      G      A        D
Never wanted though I cared
        G        A      D
Now I’m tripping up the stairs
