But my dreams, they aren't as empty
|Cadd9 |D D/A |E |E6sus4 E
As my conscience seems to be
|Bm | |C |
I have hours, only lonely
|D |Dsus4 D |Asus2 | | | |

Like I do and I blame you
No one bites back as hard on their anger
None of my pain and woe can show through
|C |D |G |Gsus4 G
But my dreams, they aren't as empty
