Am F There's a little house on a perfect little hill G Just short of a fairytale Am F There's a little child with a million ways to feel G Caught up in a hurricane Paper thin walls Angry words from down the hall Something changed them I think about him every now and again Chorus: Am F Now there's a ghost at the back of this room G And I don't like it Am F I fall asleep with my covers pulled up G And try to fight it Am F I gotta say it's hard to be brave G When you're alone in the dark Am F G I told myself that I wouldn't be scared Am F But I'm still having nightmares G (I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake) Am F I'm still having nightmares G (I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake) Every little thing got me coming back around Digging up old memories Always used to be the one to let it go Kept my fears in a suitcase I locked them away In a place they wouldn't find They still haunt me I think about it every now and again Chorus (I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake) I'm still having nightmares (I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake I'm still having nightmares I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake) Now there's a ghost in the back of this room And I don't like it I fall asleep with my covers pulled up And try to fight it Chorus: Now there's a ghost in the back of this room And I don't like it I fall asleep with my covers pulled up And try to fight it I gotta say it's hard to be brave When you're alone in the dark (alone in the dark) I told myself that I wouldn't be scared But I'm still having nightmares (I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake) I'm still having nightmares (I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake I'm still having nightmares) I gotta say it's hard to be brave When you're alone in the dark (alone in the dark) I told myself that I wouldn't be scared But I'm still having nightmares (I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake) You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm F G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
