[Intro]
Dm*
I close my eyes
F*
It’s like I’m still alive
Bb*
Don’t wake me up until
C* F*
Don’t wake me up until
Am* Dm*
The silent night
F*
It tears me up inside
Bb*
And I can feel you still
C* F*
And I can feel you still
[Bridge 1]
F
[Verse 1]
Dm
A bleeding heart
F
The things we left unsaid
Bb
The phantom in my head
C F
The phantom in my head
Dm
A creeping thought
F
The joy that I can’t find
Bb
It can’t escape my mind
C F
I can’t escape my mind
[Chorus]
Dm Bb C F
And I now I hate to face the end
Dm C Bb
So could you let me just pretend?
C F
I’d give up everything I’ve left
Dm Bb C F
And I’ll never know your like again
Dm C Bb
You were the best I’d ever been
C F
I know that things were better then,
C
Then…
[Verse 2]
Dm
The falling ash
F
You settle to the ground
Bb
I see you slipping down
C F
I see you slipping down
Am Dm
A sinking ship
F
But I am weighed down from
Bb
The burden of your love
C F
I wasn’t good enough
[Chorus]
Dm Bb C F
And I now I hate to face the end
Dm C Bb
So could you let me just pretend?
C F
I’d give up everything I’ve left
Dm Bb C F
And I’ll never know your like again
Dm C Bb
You were the best I’d ever been
C F
I know that things were better then,
C
Back then…
[Bridge 2]
Dm
And I was so wrong
F
And it’s been so long
Bb
And it haunts me still
C F Am
And I know you’re gone
Dm
And I was too wrong
F
And it’s been too long
Bb
And it haunts me still
C F
And I know you’re gone
[Chorus]
Dm Bb C F
And I, now I hate to face the end
Dm C Bb
So could you let me just pretend?
C F
I’d give up everything I’ve left
Dm Bb C F
And I’ll never know your like again
Dm C Bb
You were the best I’d ever been
C F
I know that things were better then,
C
Back then…
[Chorus 2]
Dm Bb C F
And god, how I fucking hate the end
Dm C F
So could you let me just pretend?
C F
I’ve given all that I can give
Dm Bb C F
And I’ll never see your face again
Dm C Bb
Until I’m walking with the dead
Bb C F
So will you swear you’ll meet me then?
C
Oh then…
[Outro]
Dm Bb C F
And I now I have to face the end
Dm C Bb
But could you let me just pretend?
Bb C F
Could you let me just pretend?
