Gm     Gm/F
Eerie whispers
 D#                 Dsus4 D
Trapped beneath my pillow
Gm    Cm       F7
Won't let me sleep
     A#
Your memories

I know you're in this room
I'm sure I heard you sigh
Floating in-between
Where our worlds collide

Chorus:

                          Cm Cm7/A# F/A
It scares the hell out of me
        F                 A# F/A E/G#
And the end is all I can see
         Gm                    Cm Cm7/A# F/A
And it scares the hell out of me
        F                 A# E/G#
And the end is all I can see
         D#     D#m
Yea yea yeaaaaa yea yea
A#           F7         D#    D#m   A#
Yea yea yea yea yea yea yaaa oaaaaaaaaaaa

And I know the moment's near
And there's nothing we can do
Look through a faithless eye
Are you afraid to die?

Chorus - x2
