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