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