Intro:  F#m   C#m   A   G  F#m  
C#mWake me up only nightmares take me Ain
Through these Gwalls the winter bites
A D/F#draft from all sides
AWhy did you not incF#mlude  Eme  C#mon your Dlist?
ALet me in through the F#mcei---Eling
C#mWhite lips Dkissed
DOur love is a C#mfickle love
Keeps itsF#elf locked in a sEuitcase
To be rDeady to go
AlC#mways
(Just before you start the chorus you can play these notes:
 G#-A-B)
        F#m  C#mI won't cry when the silver lining Ashows
But you're Gright you understand
You F#mride with both hands
C#mWorrying is the breathing that you Aneed
So there Gwon't be far to fall
You D/F#mustn't climb tall
AThings that are supposed to F#mmean   Elots     (You can sing this part  
C#m       D/F#                               from a lower octave... :) )
Leave you cold
AAnd with a malaF#mdy       E  C#mof the D/F#soul
DOur love is a C#mtricky love
Bet you F#know this, Bet you Enoticed
Bet you Dknow, which is C#mwhy
BmI should know Abetter than C#manyone  Dever could
BmSoon as I Alet go C#meverything Efalls apart
       (These last parts are played just like the previous chorus)
I won't cry when the silver lining shows
But you're right
You understand
You ride with both hands
Worrying is the breathing that you need
So there won't be far to fall
You mustn't climb tall
Wake me up
Only nightmares take me in
Through these walls the winter bites
A draft from all sides
Of course you can
There are diamonds in demand
It's a shame and as you know
The stain will not go
