Hi Michael,

Good work on this song!  I noticed that the lyrics provided are slightly different than what you sang.  Maybe update the printed form to match the recording.

The lyrics are good, however I would only sing “I’m not chasing peace, I’m not chasing hope” once instead of twice in the chorus.

Good work!

Chasin’ Your Ghost

Written by Michael Parker

Somebody else's casserole dish
.. And stuck on lasagna
Somebody else's so sorry for this
.. And I'm prayin' on ya

Somebody else's car in your spot
Somebody else's damn name I forgot

But it's my rain'
My storm, and my ocean
It's my pain
That's keepin' me goin'
Sailin' rough seas
Toward a cold rocky coast
I'm not chasing peace, I'm not chasing hope
I'm not chasing peace, I'm not chasing hope
I'm chasin' your ghost

It's somebody else's arms around me
…and soft voice in my ear
Somebody else's bad joke and poor timing
…I pretend not to hear

It's somebody else checkin' scores on their phone
It's somebody else leavin' me all alone

But it's my rain'
My storm, and my ocean
It's my pain
That's keepin' me goin'
Sailin' rough seas
Toward a cold rocky coast
I'm not chasing peace, I'm not chasing hope
I'm not chasing peace, I'm not chasing hope
I'm chasin' your ghost

It's your pillow, that I want to lay on
It's your perfume, that I want to taste
It's your memory, that I want to cling to
What I'd give just to wipe tears from your face

But it's my rain'
My storm, and my ocean
It's my pain
That's keepin' me goin'
Sailin' rough seas
Toward a cold rocky coast
I'm not chasing peace, I'm not chasing hope
I'm all out of peace, I'm all out of hope
I'm chasin' your ghost
