The Bed Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I w[D]ake u[C]p[F][C][G][Gm]
[G]from [D]a troubled sleep
[C]In the middle [G]of [Em]the night[G]
Reaching [D]for the softer hands
[C]that once held [Em]my he[D]art so[G] tight
[Em]My fingers touch the pillow
where you once [G]had your head
[C]Oh, [G]I ran my hands down t[D]he cold,
cold sheets
[F]On your [C]side of [G]the bed
My head spins [D]from your perfume
[C]That lingers [G]every [Em]place
[G]I kiss the traces o[D]f lipstick
[C]Left on your [G]pillowcase[Em]
And here in this nightmare of darkness
[C]I remember the day w[G]e were wed
An[C]d I g[G]lanced and tapped
[D]at the tear -stained sheets
[F]On my side [C]of [G]the bed
My [C]arms long to [Em]hold you
[Am]My lips hu[F]nger f[G]or your [F]kiss[C][F][C][F]
[C]I just can'[Em]t stand i[F]t
[C]I j[Dm]ust c[C]an't s[D]tand
spending another lonely, lonely,
lonely night [G]like [F]this[Eb][Db][Eb][Ab]
These hands [Fm]that[Eb]
once caressed you, [Db]dear
Just took a bottle [Ab]from the [Fm]drawer
[Db]An d[Ab] on the label it read
[Fm]Just [Db]take [Eb]one for sleeping
But I [Db]feel like taking [Ab]so many more
[Eb]An d[Fm] what good is there in living
[Db]When the dream [Eb]we once
shared [Fm]is dead
[Db]An d[Ab] now at last,
[Eb]I lay me down to sleep
[Gb]On m[Db]y side of [Ab]the bed[Fm][Db][Ab]
At last, [Db]I lay me down to sleep you
