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

I’m afraid to wake
