Except in dreams.
NIGHTMARES ARE EASIER
[Verse: G Bm Em Asus A x2 Chorus: F#m A F#m Bm F#m E Asus A] G Bm head on your pillow Em Asus A eyes are open G Bm wait for goodbyes Em Asus A Asus A never spoken CHORUS: F#m A dreams aren't as free F#m Bm as we'd like them to be F#m E and nightmares Asus A Asus A are easier eyes are tracking rapid motion no one promised, so it can't be broken CH. cold awakening why are my cheeks wet? head on my pillow eyes unseeing her caressing her affection my imagining nightmares are easier.
