The Bed

[Intro ]G 


                    D 
I wake from trouble sleep 
       C             G 
In the middle of the night 
                 D 
Reaching for the soft hand 
     C                 G 
That once held mine so tight 
   Em 
My fingers touch the pillow 
      C        D          G 
Where you once layed your head 

And I run my hand down 
    C         D 
The cold cold sheets 
   F 
on your side of the bed 


Interlude 

G 


                       D 
My head spins from the perfume 
     C             G 
That lingers every place 
                     D 
And I kiss the trace of lipstick 
     C              G 
Left on your pillow case 
    Em 
And here in this nightmare of darkness 
  C            D      G 
I remember the day we wed 

And I clutch and tear 
       C            D 
At the tear stained sheets 
   F             G     
On my side of the bed 




   C 
My arms long to hold you 
   F                    C 
My lips hunger for your kiss 

And I just couldn't 
            F 
Stand to go through 
        D                      G 
Another lonely night like this 


                        D 
These hands that once coressed you 
       C               G 
Take a bottle from the drawer 
                     D 
It says take one for sleeping 
        C           G 
But I'm taking many more 
     Em 
What good is there 
                 C 
In living if the dreams 
   D        G 
We shed are dead 

So now at last 
         C 
I lay me down to sleep 
                    G 
On your side of the bed
