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 C OR
              Em
I'M NOT WHO I WAS

ANYMOD 

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
