[Intro]
           Dm*
I close my eyes
                     F*
It's like I'm still alive
                   Bb*
Don't wake me up until
             C*    F*
Don't wake me up until
 
    Am*    Dm*
The silent night
                 F*
It tears me up inside
                   Bb*
And I can feel you still
          C*       F*
And I can feel you still
 
[Bridge 1]
F
 
[Verse 1]
           Dm
A bleeding heart
                     F
The things we left unsaid
                  Bb
The phantom in my head
            C     F
The phantom in my head
 
           Dm
A creeping thought
                     F
The joy that I can't find
                   Bb
It can't escape my mind
          C       F
I can't escape my mind
 
[Chorus]
    Dm       Bb      C        F
And I now I hate to face the end
             Dm     C    Bb
So could you let me just pretend?
                 C          F
I'd give up everything I've left
 
    Dm         Bb        C    F
And I'll never know your like again
             Dm        C   Bb
You were the best I'd ever been
                        C      F
I know that things were better then,
   C
Then...
 
[Verse 2]
            Dm
The falling ash
                    F
You settle to the ground
                   Bb
I see you slipping down
             C     F
I see you slipping down
 
     Am      Dm
A sinking ship
                      F
But I am weighed down from
                  Bb
The burden of your love
         C    F
I wasn't good enough
 
[Chorus]
    Dm       Bb      C        F
And I now I hate to face the end
             Dm     C    Bb
So could you let me just pretend?
                 C          F
I'd give up everything I've left
 
    Dm         Bb        C    F
And I'll never know your like again
             Dm        C   Bb
You were the best I'd ever been
                        C      F
I know that things were better then,
     C
Back then...
 
[Bridge 2]
            Dm
And I was so wrong
                 F
And it's been so long
                 Bb
And it haunts me still
      C           F      Am
And I know you're gone
              Dm
And I was too wrong
                  F
And it's been too long
                 Bb
And it haunts me still
      C           F
And I know you're gone
 
[Chorus]
    Dm       Bb      C        F
And I, now I hate to face the end
             Dm     C    Bb
So could you let me just pretend?
                 C          F
I'd give up everything I've left
 
    Dm         Bb        C    F
And I'll never know your like again
             Dm        C   Bb
You were the best I'd ever been
                        C      F
I know that things were better then,
     C
Back then...
 
[Chorus 2]
    Dm         Bb      C        F
And god, how I fucking hate the end
             Dm     C       F
So could you let me just pretend?
                    C     F
I've given all that I can give
 
    Dm         Bb       C     F
And I'll never see your face again
          Dm      C        Bb
Until I'm walking with the dead
            Bb           C       F
So will you swear you'll meet me then?
      C
Oh then...
 
[Outro]
    Dm      Bb      C        F
And I now I have to face the end
              Dm     C       Bb
But could you let me just pretend?
          Bb     C       F
Could you let me just pretend?
              [Intro]
I close my eyes
It's like I'm still alive
Don't wake me up until
Don't wake me up until
The silent night
It tears me up inside
And I can feel you still
And I can feel you still

[Verse 1]
A bleeding heart
The things we left unsaid
The phantom in my head
The phantom in my head
A creeping thought
The joy that I can't find
It can't escape my mind
I can't escape my mind

[Chorus]
And I, now I hate to face the end
So could you let me just pretend?
I'd give up everything I've left
And I'll never know your like again
You were the best I'd ever been
I know that things were better then, then

[Verse 2]
The falling ash
You settle to the ground
I see you slipping down
I see you slipping down
A sinking ship
But I am weighed down from
The burden of your love
I wasn't good enough

[Chorus]
And I, now I hate to face the end
So could you let me just pretend?
I'd give up everything I've left
And I'll never know your like again
You were the best I'd ever been
I know that things were better then, back then

[Bridge]
And I was so wrong
And it's been so long
And it haunts me still
And I know you're gone
And I was too wrong
And it's been too long
And it haunts me still
And I know you're gone

[Chorus]
And I, now I hate to face the end
So could you let me just pretend?
I'd give up everything I've left
And I'll never know your like again
You were the best I'd ever been
I know that things were better then, back then
And god, how I fucking hate the end
So could you let me just pretend?
I've given all that I can give
And I'll never see your face again
Until I'm walking with the dead
So will you swear you'll meet me then?
Oh, then

[Outro]
And I, now I have to face the end
But could you let me just pretend?
Could you let me just pretend?
