[Intro] 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.
N.C. I'm afraid to wake
