D#m          B       G#m             F#/A#
Say you stay at home, alone with the flu
D#m        B        G#m           F#/A#
Find out from friends that wasn't true
D#m        B                        G#m   F#/A#
Go out at night with your headphones on, again
D#m                   B                 G#m    F#/A#
And walk through the Manhattan valleys of, the dead

Chorus:
                B        G#m
Didn't want to be your ghost,
               D#m         F#
didn't want to be anyone's ghost
                B        G#m
Didn't want to be your ghost,
               D#m          F#
didn't want to be anyone's ghost

    G#m                   B
But I don't want anybody else,
C#m                  F#
I don't want anybody else
G#m                  B
I don't want anybody else,
C#m                    F#
I don't want anybody else

You said I came close as anyone's come
To live underwater for more than a month
You said it was night inside my heart, it was
You said it should tear a kid apart, it does

Chorus

But I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else

         G#m                 B
I had a hole in the middle where
                     D#m
the lightning went through it
                       F#
told my friends not to worry
        G#m                           B
I had a hole in the middle someone's sideshow
wouldn't do it
  D#m                    F#
I told my friends not to worry

Chorus
