[Verse 1]
F#m C#m
We slept in this room together but now you're gone
F#m C#m
And it's so quiet I turn the TV on
F#m C#m
We lived in this room together, we painted the walls
Bm C#m
Now time doesn't stand still, it crawls
[Chorus 1]
D E Bm
And I'm afraid to sleep
F#m C#m
'Cause if I do I dream of you
Bm F#m
And dreams are always deep
Bm F#m
On the pillow where I weep
[Verse 2]
F#m C#m
I never realized how much I was in love with you
F#m C#m
Until you started sleeping with someone new
F#m C#m
Last night I dreamed again and you were there
Bm C#m
You kissed my face you touched my hair
[Chorus 1]
D E Bm
And I'm afraid to sleep
F#m C#m
'Cause if I do I dream of you
Bm F#m
And dreams are always deep
Bm F#m
On the pillow where I weep
[Bridge 1]
C#m
Lying alone in the darkness
Bm
With a memory in my head
C#m
There's a big hole where my heart is
E C#m F#m
And a lonely feeling rollin' round my bed
[Chorus 1]
D E Bm
And I'm afraid to sleep
F#m C#m
'Cause if I do I dream of you
Bm F#m
And dreams are always deep
Bm F#m
On the pillow where I weep
[Verse 3]
F#m C#m
I started wondering: how did we get here?
F#m C#m
There were no danger signs, the way was clear.
F#m C#m
Could we retrace our steps, choose a different line:
Bm C#m
B happy ending, in which you were mine?
[Chorus 2]
D E Bm
Now I’m afraid to wake
F#m C#m
You never left and this warm nest
Bm F#m
Protects me from the ache
Bm F#m
Of a heart about to break.
[Bridge 2]
C#m
Sinking into the abyss.
Bm
No way forward, no way out.
C#m
I didn’t ask to be like this.
E C#m F#m
But it’s the only time I haven’t any doubt.
[Chorus 2]
D E Bm
Now I’m afraid to wake
F#m C#m
You never left and this warm nest . . .
D E Bm
I’m afraid to wake
F#m C#m
You never left and this warm nest
Bm F#m
Protects me from the ache
Bm F#m
Of a heart about to break.
Bm F#m
Of a heart about to break.

I’m afraid to wake
