G (320003@1) Bm (x24432@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) F#In (244322@1)a nightmare, I am falling from the ceiling into bed beside you.
Em (022000@1) Am (x02210@1) C (x32010@1) DYou're (xx0232@1)asleep, I'm screaming, shoving you to try to wake you up.
G (320003@1) Bm (x24432@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1)And like before, you've got no interest in the life you live when you're
F#awake. (244322@1) Em (022000@1) Am (x02210@1) C (x32010@1) DYour (xx0232@1)dreams still follow storylines, like fictions you would make.
G (320003@1) Bm (x24432@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) F#So (244322@1)I lie down against your back, until we're both back in the hospital.
Em (022000@1) Am (x02210@1) C (x32010@1) DBut (xx0232@1)now it's not a cancer ward, we're sleeping in the morgue.
G (320003@1) Bm (x24432@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) F#Men (244322@1)and women in blue and white, they are singing all around you,
Em (022000@1) Am (x02210@1) C (x32010@1) DWith (xx0232@1)heavy shovels holding earth, you're being buried to you neck.
G (320003@1) Bm (x24432@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) F#In (244322@1)that hospital bed, being buried quite alive now.
Em (022000@1) Am (x02210@1) C (x32010@1) DI'm (xx0232@1)trying to dig you out but all you want is to be buried there together.

Chorus
------
AmYou're (x02210@1)screaming,
G (320003@1)
and cursing,
Amand (x02210@1)angry,
Gand (320003@1)hurting me,
Amand (x02210@1)then smiling,
Gand (320003@1)crying,
Dapologizing. (xx0232@1)

Verse 2
-------
G (320003@1) Bm (x24432@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) F#I've (244322@1)woken up, I'm in our bed, but there's no breathing body there beside me.
Em (022000@1) Am (x02210@1) C (x32010@1) DSomeone (xx0232@1)must have taken you while I was stuck asleep.
G (320003@1) Bm (x24432@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) F#But (244322@1)I know better as my eyes adjust, you've been gone for quite awhile now,
Em (022000@1) Am (x02210@1) C (x32010@1) DAnd (xx0232@1)I don't work there in the hospital, they had to let me go.
G (320003@1) Bm (x24432@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) F#When (244322@1)I try to move my arms sometimes, they weigh too much to lift.
Em (022000@1) Am (x02210@1) C (x32010@1) DI (xx0232@1)think you buried me awake, my one and only parting gift.
G (320003@1) Bm (x24432@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) F#But (244322@1)you return to me at night, just when I think I may have fallen asleep.
Em (022000@1) Am (x02210@1) C (x32010@1) DYour (xx0232@1)face is up against mine, and I'm too terrified to speak.
