Verse 1:
Bm                       D
Our eyes meet across the battlefield
           A             G
Across the bodies of the slain
Bm                D
Yours are hollow, mine are red
      A                G
But I know you worship pain
Bm                       D
Here we are, the dawn is breaking
        A                    G
But the light just sears our souls
Bm                  D
I lay my head down, close my eyes
   A                G
To dream away these woes

Chorus:
Bm                     D
Don’t wake me up until it’s over
    A               F#
I’m dreaming of the past
Bm                   D
Before these wounded minds grew older
           A           F#        Bm
Before the gods poured out their wrath

Verse 2:
Bm              D
Heavy words are hard to take
            A             G
But they’re better than a lie
Bm                 D
Inside your closet, your skeletons
      A          G
Can’t wait to go outside
Bm             D
Here we are at the beginning, ha
A                    G
Beginning of the end
Bm                  D
I lay my head down, close my eyes
   A                G
To dream it’s all pretend

Chorus:
Bm                                        D
Don’t wake me up until it’s over
    A              F#
I’m dreaming of the past
Bm                                     D
Before these drunken hearts grew sober
           A           F#        Bm
Before the gods poured out their wrath

Bridge:
B                       Bm      D
Was the world this dark when I was a child?
             A        D             G
Heroes just villains who learned to lie?
Bm                 D
I lay my head down in this grave
          A                 F#
Clasp my hands and close my eyes

Before these sainted souls grew colder
           B           G#        C#m
Before the gods poured out their wrath
                       E
Don’t wake me up until it’s over

I’m dreaming of the past
