[Riff]
[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

[Riff]
[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]
[Solo]
  Am       F
C G (x4)

[Riff]
[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
