     G              Bm
In a nightmare I am falling from the 
C            G     Em
Ceiling into bed beside you
        Am
You're asleep I'm screaming
C              D
Shoving you to try to wake you up
           G
And like before you've got no
Bm              C                  G       Em
Interest in the life you live when you're awake
     Am                  C
Your dreams still follow storylines
     D
Like fictions you would make
         G                 Bm
So I lie down against your back
            C                G       Em
Until we're both back in the hospital
    Am             C
But now it's not a cancer ward
      D
We're sleeping in the morgue
        G                 Bm
Men and women in blue and white
         C            G
They are singing all around you
     Em    Am              C
With heavy shovels holding earth
             D
You're being buried to you neck
        G           Bm
In that hospital bed
      C            G        Em
Being buried quite alive now
    Am                C
I'm trying to dig you out 
                          D
but all you want is to be buried there together

Chorus:
       Am             G         
You're screaming and cursing
    Am         G
And angry and hurting me
         Am           G
And then smiling and crying
   D
Apologizing.

           G                Bm
I've woken up I'm in our bed
               C              G       Em
but there's no breathing body there beside me
Am                C               D
Someone must have taken you while I was stuck asleep
           G            Bm
But I know better as my eyes adjust
            C               G        Em
you've been gone for quite awhile now
            Am                C
And I don't work there in the hospital
     D
they had to let me go
       G              Bm
When I try to move my arms sometimes
     C                     G    Em
they weigh too much to lift
            Am             C
I think you buried me awake
           D
my one and only parting gift
          G             Bm
But you return to me at night
            C                G       Em
just when I think I may have fallen asleep
     Am          C
Your face is up against mine and
        D
I'm too terrified to speak

Chorus:
       Am             G         
You're screaming and cursing
    Am         G
And angry and hurting me
         Am           G
And then smiling and crying
   D
Apologizing.

       Am             G         
You're screaming and cursing
    Am         G
And angry and hurting me
         Am           G
And then smiling and crying
   D
Apologizing.
