Em  Bm        Em Bm

[Verse 1]
   Em                              Bm
We slept in this room together but now you're gone
    Em                       Bm
And it's so quiet I turn the TV on
   Em                              Bm
We lived in this room together, we painted the walls
    Am                           Bm
Now time doesn't stand still, it crawls

[Chorus 1]
    C    D        Am
And I'm afraid to sleep
       Em        Bm
'Cause if I do I dream of you
    Am                Em
And dreams are always deep
       Am             Em
On the pillow where I weep

[Verse 2]
  Em                               Bm
I never realized how much I was in love with you
  Em                            Bm
Until you started sleeping with someone new
Em                             Bm
Last night I dreamed again and you were there
    Am                 Bm
You kissed my face you touched my hair

[Chorus 1]
    C    D        Am
And I'm afraid to sleep
       Em        Bm
'Cause if I do I dream of you
    Am                Em
And dreams are always deep
       Am             Em
On the pillow where I weep

[Bridge 1]
Bm
Lying alone in the darkness
       Am
With a memory in my head
Bm
There's a big hole where my heart is
      D              Bm               Em
And a lonely feeling rollin' round my bed

[Chorus 1]
    C    D        Am
And I'm afraid to sleep
       Em        Bm
'Cause if I do I dream of you
    Am                Em
And dreams are always deep
       Am             Em
On the pillow where I weep

[Verse 3]
  Em                         Bm
I started wondering: how did we get here?
Em                                  Bm
There were no danger signs, the way was clear.
Em                                   Bm
Could we retrace our steps, choose a different line:
  Am                     Bm
A happy ending, in which you were mine?

[Chorus 2]
    C    D        Am
Now I’m afraid to wake
    Em             Bm
You never left and this warm nest
   Am                Em
Protects me from the ache
     Am             Em
Of a heart about to break.

[Bridge 2]
Bm
Sinking into the abyss.
       Am
No way forward, no way out.
Bm
I didn’t ask to be like this.
             D           Bm          Em
But it’s the only time I haven’t any doubt.

[Chorus 2]
    C    D        Am
Now I’m afraid to wake
    Em             Bm
You never left and this warm nest . . .
C    D        Am
I’m afraid to wake
    Em             Bm
You never left and this warm nest
   Am                Em
Protects me from the ache
     Am            Em
Of a heart about to break.
     Am             Em
Of a heart about to break.
