Am                          G              F#
When she sleeps, there is a fever dream, yeah
            Am                          G            F#
It brings a night terror, to haunt this fragile bird

(Gtr 2 intro riff)
    Am                                G               F#
She speaks in tongues, her words they come undone, yeah
             Am                           G                F#
And with the way with mind, she struggles through the night

            (Verse Riff)
            Am                 G     F#    Am   G   F#
through the night, through the night

========
Verse 2: (same as verse 1)
========
These cold nightmares
They make her worse for where
Lost in the dark
She's got a heavy heart

And when she wakes
In her fragile state
When she calls my name
Hopin that I keep her safe

=========
Chorus 2:
=========
All that I can do
Is hope she makes it through
All that I can do
Is hope she makes it through

=====
Solo: (not yet figured out, verse riff played over)

Through the night (x4)

=========
Chorus 3:
=========
All that I can do
Is hope she makes it through
All that I can do
Is hope she makes it through
            Am
Through the night
