Verse:
Bb majorBb         FF
Silhouettes on the bedroom walls
      G minorGm     FF
Memories of alcohol and countless cigarettes
   Bb majorBb        FF
It's 3am and he can't close his eyes
        G minorGm         FF
Watches traffic passing by and will stay there most of the night

[Pre-Chorus}
   G minorGm              FF
He's counting cars by the window again
    G minorGm               FF
Losing sleep to stop the world from turning

Chorus:
      Bb majorBb               FF
I've got a feeling that he's been dreaming
     G minorGm
That one day you're coming home
       FF
He leaves the door unlocked in hope
       Bb majorBb            FF
Because he's dreaming that he's got a feeling
     G minorGm
Sometimes lies keep you alive
     FF
He'll be waiting every night

Verse:
   Bb majorBb             FF
And, he took the mirrors off the bedroom walls
         G minorGm          FF
Painted pictures in the halls because "you'll come back one day"
 Bb majorBb               FF
A augmentedA broken heart still beats just twice as slow
        G minorGm                FF
Lost the other half 2 months ago, and since he's never been the same

Pre-Chorus:
G minorGm                FF
He's counting cars by the window again

Chorus:
     Bb majorBb            FF
I've got a feeling that he's been dreaming
     G minorGm
That one day you're coming home
       FF
He leaves the door unlocked in hopes
       Bb majorBb            FF
Because he's dreaming that he's got a feeling
     G minorGm
Sometimes lies keep you alive
     FF
He'll be counting cars tonight

Bridge:
      Eb MajorEb                     Bb majorBb
The window broke, the coldness forced its way into his home
  G minorGm                     FF
He remembered everything and lost the hope he believed in
FF
He's a mess in distress, nothings left in his chest
FF
Closed his eyes, held his breath

Outro:
     Bb majorBb        FF          G minorGm
And he's dreaming, forever dreaming that he'd protected her that night
   FF                    Bb majorBb        FF
So if he could turn back time then he'd drive sober and forever hold her
    G minorGm           FF             Bb majorBb
Now he watches cars go by and hope one day he'll see her lights
