By: Joe Weitzel
[Intro]
Em Bm Am C Bm Am C D
[Verse 1]
In a Gnightmare, I am Bmfalling from the Cceiling into Gbed besiD/F#de you.
You're aEmsleep, I'm screaming, Amshoving you to Ctry to wake you Dup.
And like Gbefore, you've got no Bminterest in the Clife you live when Gyou're 
D/F#awake.
Your Emdreams still follow Amstorylines, like Cfictions you would make.D  
So I lie Gdown against your Bmback, until we're Cboth back in the GhospitalD/F#.
But Emnow it's not a Amcancer ward, we're Csleeping in the morgueD.
Men and Gwomen in blue and Bmwhite, they are Csinging all Garound youD/F#,
With heavy Emshovels holding Amearth, you're being Cburied to you Dneck.
In that Ghospital Bmbed, being Cburied quite Galive now.D/F#  
I'm trying to Emdig you out but Amall you want is to be Cburied there Dtogether.
[Chorus]
You're Amscreaming,
and Gcursing,
and Amangry,
and Ghurting me,
and then Amsmiling,
and Gcrying,
aDpologizing.
[Verse 2]
I've woken Gup, I'm in our Bmbed, but there's no Cbreathing body Gthere D/F#beside me.
EmSomeone must have Amtaken you while CI was stuck asleepD.
But I know Gbetter as my Bmeyes adjust, you've been Cgone for quite Gawhile nowD/F#,
And I don't work Emthere in the Amhospital, they Chad to let me goD.
When I Gtry to move my Bmarms sometimes, they Cweigh too much to Glift.D/F#  
I think you Emburied me aAmwake, my one and Conly parting Dgift.
But you Greturn to me at Bmnight, just when I Cthink I may have Gfallen D/F#asleep.
Your Emface is up Amagainst mine, and I'm too Cterrified to Dspeak.
[Chorus]
You're Amscreaming,
and Gcursing,
and Amangry,
and Ghurting me,
and then Amsmiling,
and Gcrying,
aDpologizing.
You're Amscreaming,
and Gcursing,
and Amangry,
and Ghurting me,
and then Amsmiling,
and Gcrying,
aDpologizing.
You're Amscreaming,
and Gcursing,
and Amangry,
and Ghurting me,
and then Amsmiling,
and Gcrying,
aDpologizing.

Epilogue - The Antlers

By: Joe Weitzel

[Intro]

Em Bm Am C Bm Am C D

[Verse 1]

G Bm C G D/F#

In a nightmare, I am falling from the ceiling into bed beside you.

Em Am C D

You're asleep, I'm screaming, shoving you to try to wake you up.

G Bm C G

And like before, you've got no interest in the life you live when you're

D/F#

awake.

Em Am C D

Your dreams still follow storylines, like fictions you would make.

G Bm C G D/F#

So I lie down against your back, until we're both back in the hospital.

Em Am C D

But now it's not a cancer ward, we're sleeping in the morgue.

G Bm C G D/F#

Men and women in blue and white, they are singing all around you,

Em Am C D

With heavy shovels holding earth, you're being buried to you neck.

G Bm C G D/F#

In that hospital bed, being buried quite alive now.

Em Am C D

I'm trying to dig you out but all you want is to be buried there together.

[Chorus]

You're screaming,

and cursing,

and angry,

and hurting me,

and then smiling,

and crying,

apologizing.

[Verse 2]

G Bm C G D/F#

I've woken up, I'm in our bed, but there's no breathing body there beside me.

Em Am C D

Someone must have taken you while I was stuck asleep.

G Bm C G D/F#

But I know better as my eyes adjust, you've been gone for quite awhile now,

Em Am C D

And I don't work there in the hospital, they had to let me go.

G Bm C G D/F#

When I try to move my arms sometimes, they weigh too much to lift.

Em Am C D

I think you buried me awake, my one and only parting gift.

G Bm C G D/F#

But you return to me at night, just when I think I may have fallen asleep.

Em Am C D

Your face is up against mine, and I'm too terrified to speak.

[Chorus]

You're screaming,

and cursing,

and angry,

and hurting me,

and then smiling,

and crying,

apologizing.

You're screaming,

and cursing,

and angry,

and hurting me,

and then smiling,

and crying,

apologizing.

You're screaming,

and cursing,

and angry,

and hurting me,

and then smiling,

and crying,

apologizing.
