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