     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.

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.
