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