Tom: D

Intro: D - Bm - F#m - A


Verse 1:

D    Bm              F#m    A
As I lay down on the bed
D        Bm                F#m               A
Try'na come to terms with what has just been said
D         Bm                F#m              A
I don't know where I should look or what to say
D            Bm       F#m   
Is this happening to us today?


Chorus:

Em      G                Bm
If I could then I would scream
              D               Em
I'd wipe the tears off of my face
          G            Bm
Wake me up if it's a dream
        D               Em
This is more than I can take
         G            Bm
I'd give everything I own
           D                  Em    G  
If someone else could take my place
Bm           D                   D
Will someone else please take my place?


D - Bm - F#m - A

Verse 2:

D       Bm           F#m    A
How can life be so unfair?
D        Bm                   F#m           A
I can't breathe, in fact I'm choking on the air
D        Bm           F#m           A
It's all over, I can see it on your eyes
D        Bm          F#m    
Pull my hand down, heavily I sigh


Chorus:

Em      G                Bm
If I could then I would scream
              D               Em
I'd wipe the tears off of my face
          G            Bm
Wake me up if it's a dream
        D               Em
This is more than I can take
         G            Bm
I'd give everything I own
           D                  Em    G  
If someone else could take my place
Bm           D                   D
Will someone else please take my place?
