Verse:
E7
Up until July we used to spend time, crazy in love
A
Moments donʼt lie, but we lost the high, it wasnʼt enough
E7
Maybe we should dream new dreams
A
But we get buck ʼbout the smallest things
E7
Tried to move on since you say youʼre gone
A
Iʼve been deep in these streets but still feel alone, ooh
E7
Everyone I link up with donʼt compare to you
A
If you the standard, damn, I think the whole world is doomed
E7
Yeah, see, you and I, that was top-tier
A full moon on a nightʼs pier
A
A summer day to a winterʼs year
An eagly flyinʼ to hens lair
E7
Ooh, rare as a comet flyinʼ by
A
Need a ship that can travel through time
You ʼbout to make a grown man cry, yeah
Chorus:
E7
Gotta get you out of my head, out of my brain
A
Chasinʼ after love that I know has been dead
E7
All of these fools stay tryinʼ
A
You set the bar too high
They canʼt even match your fly
E7
Canʼt get you out of my head, out of my brain
A
Chasinʼ after love that I know has been dead
E7
Youʼre just a ghost of my past
A
That keeps cominʼ back but never comes back
Verse:
Mm, Ghostbuster, I think I just lost another (Damn)
She was the perfect lover, but he wasnʼt like the others (Damn)
He donʼt have patience like you
Donʼt share the visions we do
She ainʼt got no extra time
Like the way I would vibe with you
Could you blame me for thinkinʼ that theyʼd Do the same thing?
The same thing I get from you
Now thatʼs just a fantasy, fairytale, make-believe
Got me back on Lonely Street
Like I should be okay with just the simple things
Confusinʼ my needs with wants that used to be
These tears might only last one night
If I had to point the blame, I know youʼd take the lie
Chorus:
Gotta get you out of my head, out of my brain
Chasinʼ after love that I know has been dead
All of these fools stay tryinʼ
You set the bar too high
They canʼt even match your fly
Canʼt get you out of my head, out of my brain
Chasinʼ after love that I know has been dead
Youʼre just a ghost of my past
That keeps cominʼ back but never comes back
Bridge:
See, I wanna know if beinʼ alone hurts you
The way it hurts me too
Oh, baby, baby, baby
Feelinʼ like the ghost of my past is hauntinʼ me
Chasinʼ after me
No, I gotta get you
Outro:
Out of my head, out of my brain
Oh, oh-oh-oh
But you set the bar too high
Gotta get out of my (Out of my head, out of my brain)
Out of my brain
Youʼre just a ghost of my past
That keeps cominʼ back, yet never comes back
