Lyrics

When you’re (A7)dream ing with a bro (C)ken heart,

the (A7)wak ing up is the (C)hard est part.

You roll (A7)out of bed and down (C)on your knees,

and for a (A7)mo ment, you can hard (C)ly breathe,

won der ing, (Em7)was (D)she (G)real ly (C)here?

Is she (Em7)stand (D)ing (G)in my (C)room?

No, she’s (G)not,

’cause she’s (C)gone, (G)gone, (Gm)gone, (Am7)gone, (G)gone.

When you’re (A7)dream ing with a bro (C)ken heart,

the (A7)giv ing up is the (C)hard est part.

She (A7)takes you in with her (C)cry ing eyes,

then all (A7)at once you have to (C)say good bye,

won der ing, (Em7)could (D)you (G)stay, my (C)love?

And will you (Em7)wake (D)up (G)by my (C)side?

No, she (G)can’t,

’cause she’s (C)gone, (G)gone, (Gm)gone, (Am7)gone, (G)gone.

Now, do I have to (G)fall a sleep with (A7)ros es in my hand?

Do I have to (G)fall a sleep with (A7)ros es in my hand?

And do I have to (G)fall a sleep with ros es in my hand?

Do I have to (G)fall a sleep with ros es in my, ros es in my hands?

And would you (Em7)get (D)them (G)if I (C)did?

No, you (G)won’t,

’cause you’re (C)gone, (G)gone, (Gm)gone, (Am7)gone, (G)gone.

When you’re (A7)dream ing with a bro (C)ken heart,

the (A7)wak ing up is the (C)hard est part.
