I picture young Robert Frost, pen in hand, yelling at the postman. No letter has he received.
Fmaj7 Em7* Fmaj7 Em7*
Even a 'no' would be al-right, even a 'sorry but not to-day'. A sign of life would bring re-lief.
Dm7* Cmaj7
Even a 'thank you, but no thank you' 'Good bye' 'Take care' 'I already got one'
N.C.
I thought I heard you laugh once, no?
[Chorus]
Dm7 C
I guess it must have been a ghost. I don't see no one
Dm7 Cmaj9 Bbmaj9 Am7 Fmaj7/G Am7
Every time I get close can't keep you a-round
N.C. Dm7 C
Thought I knew you, but it must have been a ghost 'cause I don't see no one

Give us a 'thank you, but no thank you', 'Good bye', 'Take care', 'I already got one'
N.C.
We cried together once, no?
