Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: Bb

Difficulty: Intermediate

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

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

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

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

Pre-Chorus:
Gm                                F
He's counting cars by the window again

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

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

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