D                       F#m
Waking up, bottom of an empty cup
                G
Laying in your favorite clothes
             E
Chosen just for you

D                             F#m
Make you laugh, maybe I could make you laugh
                 G
Books of faded photographs,
               E
Moments saved for you

D                           F#
Angel dust, turn to little papercuts
                   G
Close my eyes and feel your touch,
           E
Holding onto you

Chorus:
D              F#m
Rest, you can rest now
Bm                 G
Rest, you will be safe now
D              F#m
Rest, you can rest now
Bm                 G
Rest, you will be safe now

Love and trust, life is just a game of luck
All this time escaping us, until our time is through

Chorus:
Rest, you can rest now
Rest, you will be safe now
Rest, you can rest now
Rest, you will be safe now
Rest, you can rest now
Rest, you will be safe now
Rest, you can rest now
Rest, you will be safe now
You will be safe now

Wakin' up, had another dream of us
In the warm Virginia sun, there I will meet you
