 When you're dreaming  with a bro-ken  heart
 The waking  up is the hardest  part
 You roll out  of bed and down on  your knees
 And for a moment  you can hardly  breathe
 Wondering was she rea-lly here
 Is she stand-ing in my room
 No she's not
 Cos she's gone gone gone gone gone
 When you're dreaming  with a bro-ken  heart
 The giving  up is the hardest  part
 She takes  you in with her crying  eyes
 Then all at  once you have to say  goodbye
 Wondering could you stay my love
 Will you wake up by my side
 No she can't
 Cos she's gone gone gone gone gone
 Now do I have to fall  asleep with roses  in my hand
 Do I have to fall  asleep with roses  in my hand
 Do I have to fall  asleep with roses  in my hand
 Do I have to fall  asleep with roses  in my roses  in my hands
 And would you get them if I did
 No you won't
 Cos you're gone gone gone gone gone
 When you're dreaming  with a bro-ken  heart
 The waking  up is the hardest  part
 I hope I've done it justice!

Will you [Em7]wake [D/F#]up   [G]by [G/B]my   [C]side

Do I have to [G]fall asleep with [A7]roses in my hand[C]

Do I have to [G]fall asleep with [A7]roses in my hand[C]

Do I have to [G]fall asleep with [A7]roses in my [C]roses in my hands

And would you [Em7]get [D/F#]them [G]if [G/B]I    [C]did

No you [Gadd2]won't [B]
