[D]Holy ghosts
[D]When do you [G]come out to play?
[D]'Cause if the Lord [G]is gonna find me
[D]He'd better [G]start looking today
[D]Last week, my [A]baby hit the slopes
[D]Well, I spent the weekend [A]setting traps in the road
[D]I should have been [A]cutting out my eyelids
[G]You'll never guess what baby [F#m]did when she got home
[G]Na-na-na-na-na
[A]Now at least the [D]birds are singing to me
[A]Oh, what they're [D]trying to say?
[D]I don't know
[D](You're beautiful) I think [A]they come from the cold
[G](For all your big mistakes) I [F#m]think they come from the cold
[G](You stayed the same) to [A]the city that doesn't snow
[D]So I drove until [G]we both broke down
[A]I was stranded [D]in a border town
[G]Believing the motel TV [A]would bring me to safety
[D]But between MTV [G]and Mr. O'Reilly
[A]I've come to find, [G]that I can't be defined
[A]So I turned it off, [D]now convinced I would cross
[G]Took one last [D]look at the gold
[G]As it shattered [D]on a mountaintop
[G]Now I believe the [D]sun, it's like a symphony
[A]But what it's [G]trying to play
[D]I don't know
[G](You're beautiful) I think [D]it's come from the cold
[G](For all your big mistakes) I [D]think it's come from the cold
[G](You stayed the same) to [A]the city that doesn't snow
[G]C'mon holy ghosts
[D]When do you [G]come out to play?
[D]'Cause if the Lord [G]is gonna find me
[D]He'd better [G]start looking today
[D]So I can [G]rise with the river
[D]We all float [G]before we sink
[A]We pray for [G]satellites, pray for courtesy
[D]I pray that it [G]can climb mountains to me
[D]I say goodbye [G]to the canyon
[D]I will set [G]sail to the streets
[A]Where I don't [G]care to be forgiven
[A]I want [G]to be forgotten
[F#m]I don't care [G]to be forgiven
[A]When Lord, I only [D]want to be forgotten
[D]Singing
[A]Oh, whoa, oh-na-na-na
[D]Oh, whoa, oh
[A]I'm singing
[D]Oh, whoa, oh-na-na
[A]Oh-oh, oh-oh
[A]I'm singing
[A]Oh, whoa, oh-na-na-na
[D]Oh, whoa, oh
[A]I'm singing
[D]Oh, whoa, oh-na-na
[A]Oh-oh (na-na-na), oh-oh
[D]Now I receive a [A]call from my family
[G]And what they [F#m]started to say
[G]Bought me home
[A](You're beautiful) they [D]think I'm beautiful
[A](For all your big [D]mistakes) they think I'm beautiful
[A](You're beautiful) for [D]all my big mistakes
[F#m]For all [G]my big mistakes
[F#m]For all [G]my big mistakes

Benson Hedges by fun. is played in the key of D. Originally recorded in the sounding key of D, 'Benson Hedges' by fun. is best approached with a Capo placed on Fret 2, enabling guitarists to execute friendly C shapes while fully preserving the studio pitch. The F#m chord can be navigated using an open F#m7 variation or capo shifting to exploit natural Em open fingerings across all primary song verses. The primary progression challenge lies in switching between G and F#m: keep your fingers hovering close to the fretboard rather than flying off between changes. Set your metronome at an initial practice tempo of 79 BPM in 4/4 time to master the '↓ - ↓ ↑ - ↑ ↓ ↑' strumming groove, emphasizing steady downstrokes on beats one and three before accelerating toward the studio speed of 110 BPM.
