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