F#m           D          G#m7b5
My head is full of nightmares and flare guns
                         F#m    D    C#
I try to wake myself but I can't run

[Verse 1]
Dmaj7         E#dim
I'm wide awake
F#m              E
The fear is overwhelming
Dmaj7    E#dim
I can't take it
       F#m                            E
I will have to find a way to keep pretending this ain't real
Dmaj7        E#dim                  F#m         E  D
And make my mind believe that I can be in my fantasy
Dmaj7     E#dim                 F#m          E    D
I shut my eyes and see I should be living in my dreams

[Chorus 1]
                    F#m             D        G#m7b5
My head is full of nightmares and flare guns
                         F#m    D   G#m7b5
I try to wake myself but I can't run
                               A     E        F#m
Away from what’s been hunting me in my dreams
        D              Bm        C#
For so long and now I hold my breath
And count to ten

[Interlude]
Dmaj7 C#m7 Bm7 C#m7

[Verse 2]
Dmaj7                  E#dim
My thoughts are closing in
F#m             E
And I have to pick my fights
Dmaj7              E#dim
I don't think that I can win
F#m              E
If I could only get through the night
Dmaj7        E#dim
It may seem hard at first
F#m                E
And it may seem impossible
Dmaj7        E#dim
I can't give up yet
F#m                      E
I need to forget my troubles

[Chorus 2]
                    F#m             D        G#m7b5
My head is full of nightmares and flare guns
                         F#m    D   G#m7b5
I try to wake myself but I can't run
                               A     E        F#m
Away from what’s been hunting me in my dreams
        D              Bm        C#
For so long and now I hold my breath

[Bridge]
D                       F#m7
When I finally find the gun
                    C#m7 C#
My vision becomes clearer
D                    F#m7
I point it up to the sky
                   C#m7 C#
And I pull the trigger
            D
For it was just a bad dream
          F#m7
And bad things happen to good people
C#m7
I don't believe any of that
C#
I'm not feeling equal
D
To the ones who can decide
F#m7
The ones who dare to try
C#m7                          C#
The ones who actually fall asleep at night
I've been having

[Chorus 3]
F#m             D        G#m7b5
Nightmares and flare guns
                         F#m    D   G#m7b5
I try to wake myself but I can't run
                               A     E        F#m
Away from what’s been hunting me in my dreams
        D              Bm        C#
For so long and now I hold my breath

[Outro]
                    F#m             D        G#m7b5
My head is full of nightmares and flare guns
                         F#m    D   G#m7b5
I try to wake myself but I can't run
                               A     E        F#m
Away from what’s been hunting me in my dreams
        D              Bm        C#
For so long and now I hold my breath
                Dmaj7
And count to ten
