D    Bm              F#m A
As I lay down on the bed
D       Bm                 F#m                A
Try'na come to terms with what has just been said
D         Bm                F#m              A
I don't know where I should look or what to say
D        Bm          F#m
Is this happening to us today?

Chorus:
Em    G                    Bm
If I could then I would scream
              D               Em
I'd wipe the tears off of my face
        G              Bm
Wake me up if it's a dream
         D               Em
This is more than I can take
         G            Bm
I'd give everything I own
           D                   Em  G
If someone else could take my place
Bm           D
Will someone else please take my place?

How can life be so unfair?
I can't breathe, in fact I'm choking on the air
It's all over, I can see it in your eyes
Hold my hand, don't ever leave my side
