Am G#
Tell me 'bout it when you're sober
Em7 F
Wake me up when your nightmare is over
Am G#
And all our days are getting colder
Em7 F
Lay me down, I'll be closer to you
[Bridge]
Am
Even if I try
G# Em7 F
And God, I've tried so many times
Am
And I gave you up
G# Em7 F
Then I got hope in us but not very much
[Refrain]
Am G# Em7 F
My heart's not strong enough to hold you (how could I hold you?)
Am G# Em7 F
I doubt that's what I'm supposed to do (but you want me to)
Am G# Em7 F
And I'm not strong enough to push you away
Am G# Em7 F
Cause I'm not you
[Verse 2]
Am G#
Friday nights are your shelter
Em7 F
Wake me up when you're numb and your head hurts
Am G#
But the pain is getting worse
Em7 F
Pour your heart out, I'm still confusеd
[Bridge]
Am
Even if I try
G# Em7 F
And God, I've tried so many times
Am
And I gave you up
G# Em7 F
Then I got hope in us but not very much
[Refrain]
Am G# Em7 F
My heart's not strong enough to hold you (how could I hold you?)
Am G# Em7 F
I doubt that's what I'm supposed to do (but you want me to)
Am G# Em7 F
And I'm not strong enough to push you away
Am G# Em7 F
Cause I'm not you
[Bridge]
Am G#
Wake me up when your nightmare is over
Em7 F
But maybe you're not getting closer
Am G#
Wake me up when your nightmare is over
Em7 F
When it's over. Is it ever over?
[Refrain]
Am G# Em7 F
My heart's not strong enough to hold you (how could I hold you?)
Am G# Em7 F
I doubt that's what I'm supposed to do (but you want me to)
Am G# Em7 F
And I'm not strong enough to push you away
Am G# Em7 F
Cause I'm not you
