G D Am C

[Verse 1]
G                          D
 Yesterday we watched the colours fade
     Am              C
As shadows danced across your fragile face
G                         D
 And on the inside we're dying just to let you know
    Am                   C
We're there and that we care (that we care)
G                         D
 So close your eyes and drift beyond the stars
             Am                C
And light our way , we'll be okay (we'll be okay)

[Pre-Chorus]
Em                          C
 The love you shared was strong and true
Em                   C
 We're who we are because of you

[Chorus]
G
 Wake me up when it's over
D
 I swear I should have told her
Am                           C
Everything she has meant to me, yeah
G
 Take me back to October
D
 When I could have told her
Am                           C
Everything she has meant to me , goodnight my sweet Lerlene

[Verse 2]
G
 All the places that I've seen
D                            Am
 Will never compare to the dreams and vivid memories
        C
Of the words you said that set me free
G                         D
 We all struggle in this life
                                Am
Breathing doesn't mean you're alive
                         C
Hold on to the ones you love, chase your dreams

[Pre-Chorus]
Em                          C
 The love you shared was strong and true
Em                   C
 We're who we are because of you

[Chorus]
G
 Wake me up when it's over
D
 I swear I should have told her
Am                           C
Everything she has meant to me, yeah
G
 Take me back to October
D
 When I could have told her
Am                           C
Everything she has meant to me , yeah

Everything she has meant to me , goodnight my sweet Lerlene
