[Verse 1]
Am       G                F              C
   Had a dream that I was following your ghost
Am               G                F                   C
   Stripped your closets bare and spread out all your clothes
Am                G                F                 C
   You smiled and waved and then I sadly watched you go
Am                 G               F
   To Give up what you cherish the most

[Chorus]
             C                  G
Don’t Lay Me Down - Don’t Fall Asleep
    Am             G     F
I’m drowning and I can’t speak
              C                G
Don’t Wake me Up - Don’t Fall Asleep
         Am    G       F
Leave me happy in your dreams
              C
Don’t Wake me Up

[Verse 2]
Am           G               F                C
   Found the letters in your sister’s old suitcase
Am             G                 F               C
   It broke my heart to find she died on my birthday
Am           G            F            C
   Alone and broken on an Illinois Highway
Am             G             F
   Your mother never was the same

[Chorus]
             C                  G
Don’t Lay Me Down - Don’t Fall Asleep
    Am             G     F
I’m drowning and I can’t speak
              C                G
Don’t Wake me Up - Don’t Fall Asleep
         Am    G       F
Leave me happy in your dreams
              C
Don’t Wake me Up

[Verse 3]
Am              G               F               C
   Drove to the desеrt house to say my last goodbye
Am       G                  F                C
   I ran evеry light didn’t make it there in time
Am         G                F            C
   Hand in hand we’ll be forever there entwined
Am            G                 F
   A toast to those who gave us life
Am*           G*                F*
   A toast to those who gave us life

[Chorus]
             C*                 G*
Don’t Lay Me Down - Don’t Fall Asleep
    Am*            G*    F*
I’m drowning and I can’t speak
              C*               G*
Don’t Wake me Up - Don’t Fall Asleep
         Am*   G*      F*
Leave me happy in your dreams
