Before I Wake

E A E A E A Sometimes when I read the news E A My heart grows cold at what I view E A Though I laugh and tell myself E A Of course it's not and I'm being silly E F# B I wonder if the end can really be near Emaj7 A Remember when they made me pray, Emaj7 A "If I should die before I wake?" Emaj7 A When I cry and you laugh to say Emaj7 A That I wasn't going to anyway Emaj7 F# B I know that nothing could hurt me when you were here Emaj7 A If all my hopes should come to nothing Emaj7 A I know that I'll return to you Emaj7 A And when I feel the end is coming Emaj7 A It makes me want to run home to you F#m G#m Sometimes I think we'll never see tomorrow A B Sometimes I think that it's just as well F#m G#m Sometimes I can't bear to think at all A B And I turn my face towards the wall A E 4x F# B E A If I should die before I wake E A I want to lie with you beside me E A Feel the last warmth of your body E A Hold you so close up against me E F# B That I can see no farther than your eyes E A And we'll have one last night together E A And see the last time we'll have together E A I don't want to live without you E A I don't want to live without you Emaj7 A 5x
