G|-------------1--------|
I aEwake from troubled Bsleep in the Amiddle of the Enight
ReachBing for the sofAt hand that once hEeld mine so tight
My C#mfingers touch the pillow where Aonce you Blaid your Ehead
 				                      A                  D     ERiff 
And I run my hands on the cold, cold sheets on your side of the bed
My Ehead spins from the Bperfume that Alingers everyEplace
That kiss, that taste of Blipstick left Aon your pillowEcase 
And C#mhere in this nightmare of darkness I reAmember the Bday we were Ewed
And I clutch anAd I stare at the tear sDtained sheets Eon mE7y side of the bed 
My Aarms ain’t beholdin’ you, my Dlips hunger for your Akiss
 			                    D                    B     ERiff    
And I just stand to go through another lonely night like this
