Introduction:
D
I wake from trouble sleep
C G
In the middle of the night
D
Reaching for the soft hand
C G
That once held mine so tight
Em
My fingers touch the pillow
C D G
Where you once layed your head
And I run my hand down
C D
The cold cold sheets
F
on your side of the bed
Interlude
D
My head spins from the perfume
C G
That lingers every place
D
And I kiss the trace of lipstick
C G
Left on your pillow case
Em
And here in this nightmare of darkness
C D G
I remember the day we wed
And I clutch and tear
C D
At the tear stained sheets
F G
On my side of the bed
C
My arms long to hold you
F C
My lips hunger for your kiss
And I just couldn't
F
Stand to go through
D G
Another lonely night like this
D
These hands that once coressed you
C G
Take a bottle from the drawer
D
It says take one for sleeping
C G
But I'm taking many more
Em
What good is there
C
In living if the dreams
D G
We shed are dead
So now at last
C
I lay me down to sleep
G
On your side of the bed
