Afraid to Sleep

Em  Bm        Em Bm

[Verse 1]
   Em                              
We slept in this room together but 
Bm
now you're gone
    Em                       Bm
And it's so quiet I turn the TV on
   Em                              
We lived in this room together, we 
Bm
painted the walls
    Am                           
Now time doesn't stand still, it 
Bm
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                               
I never realized how much I was in 
Bm
love with you
  Em                           
Until you started sleeping with 
 Bm
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
Continues after the ad
    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           
And a lonely feeling rollin' round
    Em
 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                                
There were no danger signs, the 
  Bm
way was clear.
Em                                
Could we retrace our steps, choose
   Bm
 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       
But it’s the only time I haven’t 
   Em
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.
