Nightmare

Tom: C

      Dm
If I told you you broke my heart would you
      Am
say sorry?
      C
If I told you I don’t sleep at night would
      G
you care?
                 Dm
Cause all the bedbugs bite and I still cry,
   Am                      C
thinking about you and I
                                 G
And how you are made for me and not her

[Chorus]
                             Dm
I used to wonder when you'd wake up
                              Am
And tell me that you made a mistake
                        C
Cause all of these nightmares are keeping me
 G
awake
  Dm
I now know that things are better off this
 Am
way
                     C
I’m just hoping one day when I wake up, I
                G
won’t see your face

[Verse 2]
        Dm
Was it hard for you to say goodbye or were
      Am
you ready?
         C                            G
I could tell you started distancing yourself
               Dm
Cause when I tried to call you said leave
                Am
your name and number
             C
And like a book you left me waiting on a
  G
shelf

[Chorus]
                              Dm
I used to wonder when you’d wake up
                              Am
And tell me that you made a mistake
                        C
Cause all of these nightmares are keeping me
 G
awake
   Dm
I now know that things are better off this
 Am
way
                     C
I’m just hoping one day when I wake up, I
                 G
won’t see your face

(You stole my dreams and left me with a nightmare)

[Bridge]
   Dm
I can’t say I can blame it all on you, as
 Am
much as I wish to
      C
Cause I saw all the signs, just as much as
           G
they were red, they were black and white
         Dm
I just didn’t want to see it

Didn’t want to believe it
    Am
I didn’t want to think they were true
 C                            G
The truth is I was a fool, looking back on you

[Chorus]
                              Dm
I used to wonder when you’d wake up
                              Am
And tell me that you made a mistake
                        C
Cause all of these nightmares are keeping me
 G
awake
   Dm
I now know that things are better off this
 Am
way
                     C
I’m just hoping one day when I wake up, I
                 G
won’t see your face

                              Em
I used to wonder when you’d wake up
                              Bm
And tell me that you made a mistake
                        D
Cause all of these nightmares are keeping me
 A
awake
   Em
I now know that things are better off this
 Bm
way
                     D
I’m just hoping one day when I wake up, I
                 A
won’t see your face
