 A                                        D       A
Wake up, don't just lay there like cold granite stone,
 E                               A
wake up, we're too close to be alone.
                                      D        A
Wake up, and please, darling, hold me if you would,
 D          A                     E             A
don't just lay there like you've gone away for good.

                 A                             D         A
    There's too many empty pages with so many things in store,
       E
    I can't believe it's over and you've closed the final door.
             A                                         D       A
    And I'm not prepared to handle these things we're going through,
            E                                           A
    I wish God would grant me just one more night with you.

 A                                        D       A
Wake up, don't just lay there like cold granite stone,
 E                               A
wake up, we're too close to be alone.
                                      D        A
Wake up, and please, darling, hold me if you would,
 D          A                     E             A
don't just lay there like you've gone away for good.

        A                                 D                A
    Without you I feel worthless, like a bell that doesn't ring,
       E
    and I know you hear me talkin', yet you haven't heard a thing.
                  A                                D            A
    And I can't stand it all much longer, I'd go crazy without you,
            E                                           A
    I wish God would grant me just one more night with you.

 A                                        D       A
Wake up, don't just lay there like cold granite stone,
 E                               A
wake up, we're too close to be alone.
                                      D        A
Wake up, and please, darling, hold me if you would,
 D          A                     E             A
don't just lay there like you've gone away for good.
     D          A                     E             A
    Don't just lay there like you've gone away for good.
