Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][D][G][C][G][D]

[Verse 1]
Don't worry 'bout [G]me,
I'll be alright
[D]Just let[F] me lay my weary head
[Fdim]down for[F] the n[C]ight
Just let [Cm]me drift away to a peaceful place
[G]And slow dow[D]n to an [Em]easy phase,
[A]gat[Am]her up the strength to [F#dim]face the ligh[D]t
If I can [G]just sleep,
my heart won't [D]ache (ooh)
The truth [Fdim]won't well up in my eyes,
my hands won't [C]shake
I'll simply [Cm]sail away to a simpler time,
[G]dream of [D]gentler hil[Em]ls to [Am]climb (ooh)
You see it only [D]hurts when
I'm awake
[G][C]

[Verse 2]
[G]
But in my dreams,
there's [C]sweet [G]serenity
'Cause in my dream,
she's [C]still in love with [D]me
So let me [G]dream in peace,
at least [C]until the morning [A]breaks
I'll be [G]okay, it only [D]hurts when
I'm awake
[G][C][G][D]

[Verse 3]
Don't worry [G]'bout me
For goodness [D]sake,
God never [F]burdens [Fdim]us with more[Fm] than we c[Fdim]an take[C]
I'm still [Cm]alive and strong,
and in my [G]prime (ooh)
Heavens [D]help, I'll heal [Em]in time
[Am]Thank God,
it only [D]hurts when I'm awake
[G][C]

[Verse 4]
[G]
But in my dreams,
there's [C]sweet [G]serenity
'Cause in my dream,
she's [C]still in love with [D]me
So let me [G]dream in peace,
at least [C]until the morning [A]breaks (ooh)
I'll be okay,
[G]it only hur[D]ts when I'm awake
[G]

[Verse 5]
I'll be okay,
it only [D]hurts when I'm awake
