Em
(And it's just a nightmare,
          G             D
It's a nightmare, it's a nightmare
                C
 even when I'm wide awake)


[Verse 1]
Em               G                D
You say you're done with him but now
        C
you're not sure
Em        G                D
Is it the paining cause it leaves you
        C
wanting more


[Pre-chorus]
                    Em
Stop calling me the bad guy
                G
Don't wanna be that guy
                  D
It's just that I don't think he's
C
right for you
                  Em
He ain't treating you right
                G
Never been the sad type
                 D
That was just a thing that you'd
        C
rather choose


[Chorus]
                  Em
And it's just a nightmare,
       G                  D
It's a nightmare, it's a nightmare
C
even when I'm wide awake
                   Em
So you don't wanna go there,
                  G
Don't you know go there

Don't you go there every time I say
    C
his name
            Em                    G
Throwing a lifeline but you won't take it
                D
Sitting on the sideline but you don't
C
blame me
                 Em
And it's just a nightmare,
            G
It's a nightmare, it's a nightmare
D                     C
Even when I'm wide awake


[Verse 2]
Em            G
  He holds you back from all the
D                  C
dreams that you forgot
Em                    G
   You're blinded by promises he
D             C
doesn't even want


[Pre-chorus]
                      Em
You know I'm not the bad guy
                G
Don't wanna be that guy
                  D
It's just that I don't think he's
C
right for you
                   Em
He ain't treating you right
                    G
Girl you ain't the sad type
                D
Girl can't you see that he's changing
C
you


[Chorus]
                Em
And it's just a nightmare,
          G
It's a nightmare, it's a nightmare
D                      C
even when I'm wide awake
                   Em
So you don't wanna go there,
                   G
Don't you know go there, don't you go
        D                   C
there every time I say his name
                   Em
Throwing out a lifeline but you won't
G
take it
               D
Sitting on the sideline but you don't
C
blame me
               Em
And it's just a nightmare,
             G
It's a nightmare, it's a nightmare
D                        C
 even when I'm wide awake


[Bridge]
                  Em           G
I can see you're broken in so many ways
D                          C
even though it's not in my place
              Em
I just wanna help you we can get
G                          D
Through this phase but you always turn
    C
away
                Em
And it's just a nightmare,
            G
It's a nightmare, it's a nightmare
D                  C
even when I'm wide awake
                   Em
So you don't wanna go there,
                  G
Don't you know go there, don't you go
      D                    C
there every time I say his name


[Chorus]
                 Em
And it's just a nightmare,
           G
It's a nightmare, it's a nightmare
D                    D
even when I'm wide awake
                   Em
So you don't wanna go there,
                  G
Don't you know go there, don't you go
      D                       C
there every time I say his name
               Em
Throwing out a lifeline but you won't
G
take it
               D
Sitting on the sideline but you don't
C
blame me
                 Em
And it's just a nightmare,
           G
It's a nightmare, it's a nightmare
D                     C
even when I'm wide awake
       Em G D C
Wide awake
