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.
