Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  lay awake at night and pray
 Not to see the light of day
 I wonder how to behave right
He  has left me such a mess
 Counting to protest
 My mind can't get no rest
 PRE CHORUS 1
Fast  asleep where I keep my memories
Calling  me out in dreams
 He visits me
What  will be
 Will I see him again soon?
 Oh oh oh oh
Why am  I so terrified  of waking?
He's  gone  and I feel  I've been forsaken
In sleep  is the only  place I get to see him, get  to love  him
 INTRO 2 x1
 The scene,  a city after dawn
 Becomes a field of corn
 And I've had this one before
 PRE CHORUS 2
Fast  asleep where I keep my memories
Calling  me out in dreams
 He visits me
What  will be
 Will I see him again  soon?
 Oh oh oh oh
Why  am  I so terrified  of waking?
He's  gone  and I feel  I've been forsaken
In sleep  is the only  place I get to see him, get  to love  him
 I know  that when the story ends
 The one that's in my head
 Well, I'll be alone again
 x 2:
Why  am  I so terrified  of waking?
He's  gone  and I feel I've been  forsaken
In sleep  is the only  place I get to see him, get  to love  him
 Be with him
 I love  him,  I love him, I love  him
 x 7
