[Am]Even though you’re not here, won’t move on
[F]Ahhh, [Am]that’s how we played it

[chorus]
And there’s no [F]remedy for memory your face is
Like a melody, [Am]it won’t leave my head
Your soul is [F]haunting me and telling me
That everything is fine, but [G]I wish I was dead

[chorus]
[Am]Every time I close my [G]eyes
It’s [Dm]like a dark [Am]paradise

I’m [Am]scared that you won’t be [G]waiting on the other side

[chorus]
[Am]Every time I close my [G]eyes
It’s [Dm]like a dark [Am]paradise

[Am]Tell ’em when you find true love it lives on
[F]Ahhh, [Am]that’s why I stay here

[chorus]

Like a melody, [Am]it won’t leave my head
Your soul is [F]haunting me and telling me
That everything is fine, but [G]I wish I was dead

[chorus]
[Am]Every time I close my [G]eyes
It’s [Dm]like a dark [Am]paradise
[G]No one [F]compares to you
I’m [Am]scared that you won’t be [G]waiting on the other side
[Am]Every time I close my [G]eyes
It’s [Dm]like a dark [Am]paradise
[G]No one [F]compares to you
But [Am]there’s no you, [G]except in my dreams tonight

Oh oh oh [F]oh, ha ha ha [Am]ha
I don’t wanna [F]wake up from this [Am]tonight
Oh oh oh [F]oh, ha ha ha [Am]ha
I don’t wanna [F]wake up from this [Am]tonight

[Closing]
[F]There’s no relief, I see you in my sleep
[Am]And everybody’s rushing me, but I can feel you touching me
[F]There’s no release, I feel you in my dreams
[Am]Telling me I’m [E]fine

[chorus]
[Am]Every time I close my [G]eyes
It’s [Dm]like a dark [Am]paradise
