[Verse 1]
Em
I can't shake the demons
C
And I can't sleep at night
G
I can't stop the screaming
Bm
And I can't win this fight
C Em
It was supposed to end after
C
Five nights of hell
G
Scars too deep will make you change
Bm
I'm just surviving in my shell
[Pre-Chorus]
C D
'Cause there is no going back
Em
To the man I used to be
C D
I will never be safe
Em
And I will never be free
C D
No, there is no going back
Em Bm
To a time before the fear
C D
No matter where I go, I know,
Em
The ghosts are all too near
[Chorus]
C G
WHY WON'T THEY LET ME GO?
Em C
WHY CAN'T I JUST MOVE ON?
Em
I GAVE MY HEART AND SOUL
NOW EVERYTHING IS GONE
C Em
IN DARKNESS I STILL SEE
Am
THE LIGHT OF THEIR EYES
Em
THEY HAUNT ME LIKE A GHOST
G
AND IN THE NIGHT
C Am Em
THEY RISE...
[Instrumental]
C Am Em
[Verse 2]
C Em
These shadows in my mind
C G
Are creeping deep into my soul
I can't shake the past
D Bm D
It lingers on and demands control
Em
Trembling trapped in memories
C G
They flash before my waking eyes
D
It was just supposed to be a job
Bm
But it left me paralyzed
[Pre-Chorus]
C D
'Cause there is no going back
Em
To the man I used to be (man I used to be)
C D
I will never be safe
Em
And I will never be free
C D
'Cause, there is no going back
Em Bm
To a time before the fear
C D
No matter where I go, I know,
Em C
The ghosts are all too near
[Chorus]
Am
WHY WON'T THEY LET ME GO?
Em
WHY CAN'T I JUST MOVE ON?
C
I GAVE MY HEART AND SOUL
Em
NOW EVERYTHING IS GONE
C
IN DARKNESS I STILL SEE
D Em
THE LIGHT OF THEIR EYES
Am Bm Em
THEY HAUNT ME LIKE A GHOST
AND IN THE NIGHT THEY RISE
C Em
I CAN'T LEAVE THEM BEHIND
C
I CAN'T SHUT THE DOOR
Em
I'M NOT WHO I WAS
ANYMORE
C D
IN DARKNESS I STILL SEE
Em D
THE LIGHT OF THEIR EYES
Em
THEY HAUNT ME LIKE A GHOST
AND IN THE NIGHT
C Em
THEY RISE
[Outro]
