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