[Intro] | C#m | B | F#m | C#m | 2x [Verse 1]
C#m                B                  F#m            C#m
 Haven't seen the light of day since God knows when

                   B            F#m      C#m
Couldn't force a smile even if I tried

            B             F#m              C#m
My heart is empty and my bones won't mend

                B             C#m
Feels like the river's running dry
[Chorus]
     A             F#m             C#m
And I keep on dreaming of the day I die

       A                F#m          C#m
Where I escape the darkness of my own mind

         A              F#m
It's like a milky row, something beautiful

C#m                       B
 I wanna stay, but I know I gotta let it go

A               F#m             D
 I keep on dreaming of the day I die

       D
And I don't wanna wake up
[Verse 2]
C#m           B                F#m         C#m
 Melancholy creeps in like a thief in the night

             B              F#m      C#m
Resentment tries to have its day

            B            F#m          C#m
I know I'm just another dog in their fight

                  B             F#m    C#m
Feeding on the scraps of my mistakes, yeah
[Chorus]
     A             F#m             C#m
And I keep on dreaming of the day I die

       A                F#m          C#m
Where I escape the darkness of my own mind

         A              F#m
It's like a milky row, something beautiful

C#m                       B
 I wanna stay, but I know I gotta let it go

A               F#m             D
 I keep on dreaming of the day I die

       D
And I don't wanna wake up (Wake up)
[Post-Chorus]
C#m                 D      C#m
 And I don't wanna wake up, yeah

                   D
And I don't wanna wake up

 Keep on dreaming                (Keep on dreaming, ooh)
