1st verse: 
A#     Am           G 
When I woke up this morning 
A#        Am            G 
Wiped the sleep from my eyes 
A#      Am      G 
Found a new day dawning 
A#     Am      G       G/F# 
And suddenly I realize 
       C 
You're gone 
 
Chorus -------------
C       F     G 
Tell me I was dreaming 
C        F               G 
That you didn't leave me here to cry 
C          F             G           Em  
You didn't say you don't love me anymore 
           Am           C              D 
And it was just my imagination telling lies 
F                G              C 
Tell me that you didn't say goodbye
--------------------
 
2nd verse: 
I'm in a state of confusion 
I hope things aren't what they seem 
If this is really happening 
Just let me go back to dream 
You're home
