A                          G#7
It's okay in the day; I'm staying busy.
C#m                                        C
Tied up enough so I don't have to wonder where is he.
    Emaj7              C#m
Got so sick of crying, so just lately;
     C                      F#m  F
When I catch myself, I do a 1-80.

I stay up, clean the house At least I'm not drinking
Run around just so I don't have to think about thinking
That silent sense of content that everyone gets
Just disappears soon as the sun sets

Chorus:
D
This face in my dreams, seizes my guts;
G                 Cdim
He floods me with dread.
D                               G           E7
Soaked in soul, he swims in my eyes, by the bed.
D                      G            Cdim
Pour myself over him; moon spilling in,
C     Bm        D#maj7
And I wake up alone.

As far as my heart, I'd rather be restless
Second I stop, the sleep catches up and I'm breathless
'Cause this ache in my chest
'Cause my day is done now
The dark covers me and I cannot run now

My blood running cold, I stand before him (Before him)
It's all I can do to assure him (Assure him)
When he comes to me, I drip for him tonight
Drowning me, we bathe under blue light (Under blue)

Chorus:
He's fierce in my dreams, seizing my guts
He floods me with dread
Soaked in sorrow, he swims in my eyes by the bed
Pour myself over him
Moon spilling in
And I wake up alone

And I wake up alone
And I wake up alone
And I wake up alone
