[Verse 1]
G
Hey
A Bm
Feels like I'm asleep but I'm awake
D A
In this dream I never see your face
D Em F#m
I'm just a step behind
G
Hey
A Bm
Can't remember why you went away
D A
Pinch me cause I know it's a mistake
D Em
I wanna see your eyes
[Pre-Chorus 1]
F#m G
I woke up in another life
A Bm
Where nothing's really dangerous
D A
And everything is black and white
D Em
And no one even knows
F#m G
I woke up in a broken dream
A Bm
With no one lying next to me
D A
It's not how it's supposed to be
D Em
So why'd you have to go
[Chorus 1]
G
I'm still trying
A Bm
To wake up from this
D A
From this nightmare
D Em
From this nightmare
F#m G
Where everything is
A Bm
In its right place
D A
But you're not there
D Em
No you're not there
[Verse 2]
G
Hey
A Bm
Table's set for two but it's a waste
D A
I'm the only one that's breaking plates
D Em F#m
The quiet's getting loud
G
Hey
A Bm
Everyone keeps saying I'm okay
D A
One more night alone I'll go insane
D Em
I need to hold you now
[Pre-Chorus 2]
F#m G
I woke up in another life
A Bm
Where nothing's really dangerous
D A
And everything is black and white
D Em
And no one even knows
F#m G
I woke up in a broken dream
A Bm
With no one lying next to me
D A
It's not how it's supposed to be

So why'd you have to go

I'm still trying

No you're not there

D A
D Em F#m
G A Bm
Suddenly I can almost see you
D A
Feel the heat of your breath on my skin
D Em F#m
Scared to death but I'm only dreaming
G A Bm
Suddenly I can see you fading
D A
Holding on but my heart starts racing
D Em
Scared to death cause I know I'm dreaming
[Chorus 3]
Oh
G
I'm still trying

To wake up from this

From this nightmare
