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