G#   C#       Fm
You took the best of me (best of me)
G#        C#     Fm
And I'll never know
G#   C#             Fm
I'm left with the rest of me (rest of me)
G#  C#      Fm
I can't let go

    C#                               D#
I'm waiting for a train that's not coming
            C#               D#
It's like a waterfall in my head

Chorus:
                      C#
Oh won't you tell me why
                      Fm
I keep waiting up at night,
                G#
Leaving on the lights
                        D#
Like you never said goodbye
                   C#
I hear you at the door,
                   Fm
Footsteps on the floor,
                        G#
But you're not here no more
                D#
What hurts the most
                        C#                 Fm
Is sleeping with your ghost (ohh-oh-oh-oh-ohh)
                     G#                  D#
Sleeping with your ghost (ohh-oh-oh-oh-ohh)

I still feel you holding me, holding me
But all the warm is gone
I still hear you calling me, calling me
Where I don't belong
How do you take the knife from your heart
When every beat still hurts the same

Chorus

When we had our baby girl I was scared to death
And the doctor said "darling, you ready to push,"
Drove home like we stole the sun
Those kind of memories don't fade, don't run
They're stuck to the back of my mind
I hear you blowing in the trees at night
I'm still sleeping on my own side
Yeah, they said you'd never be prepared
for the worst ones
You took your bow, they dropped the curtains
There's no encore, just me on the floor
Waiting here for more.

Chorus

Sleeping with your ghost
Sleeping with your ghost
Sleeping with your ghost
Sleeping with your ghost
