[Verse 1]
Bm G
I lay awake at night and pray
A
Not to see the light of day
G A
I wonder how to behave right
Bm G
He has left me such a mess
A
Counting to protest
G A
My mind can't get no rest
[Pre-Chorus]
BM
Fast asleep where I keep my memories
G
Calling me out in dreams
He visits me
A
What will be
G A
Will I see him again soon?
Oh oh oh oh
[Chorus]
BM A G
Why am I so terrified of waking?
G A Bm
He's gone and I feel I've been forsaken
BM A G A Bm
In sleep is the only place I get to see him, get to love him
[Instrumental]
Bm G A G A
[Verse 2]
Bm G
The scene, a city after dawn
A
Becomes a field of corn
G A
And I've had this one before
[Pre-Chorus]
BM
Fast asleep where I keep my memories
G
Calling me out in dreams
He visits me
A
What will be
G A
Will I see him again soon?
Oh oh oh oh
[Chorus]
BM A G
Why am I so terrified of waking?
G A Bm
He's gone and I feel I've been forsaken
BM A G A Bm
In sleep is the only place I get to see him, get to love him
[Bridge]
Bm A
I know that when the story ends
G
The one that's in my head
Well, I'll be alone again
Bm A G G A Bm x2
[Chorus]
BM A G
Why am I so terrified of waking?
G A Bm
He's gone and I feel I've been forsaken

In sleep is the only place I get to see him, get to love him
