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