C                         F               C 
Last night I dreamed that you told me goodbye 
                                        G7 
And in my sleep the teardrops filled my eyes 
   C              F                        C 
It seemed so real I thought my heart would break 
     G7      F            C 
Last night I cried myself awake 


  F                                 C        G7 
I cried myself awake and laid there trembling 
     C                                G7 
As I reached for you my hand began to shake 
    C                   F                C 
And when I touched your arm there in the darkness 
  G7              F            C 
I knew that I had cried myself awake 

Verse: 2 
                 F                 C 
I know how empty now my life would be 
                                       G7 
If you should ever take your love from me 
   C                 F                 C 
To lose you would be more than I could take 
     G7      F            C 
Last night I cried myself awake 

 
  F                                 C        G7 
I cried myself awake and laid there trembling 
     C                                G7 
As I reached for you my hand began to shake 
    C                   F                C 
And when I touched your arm there in the darkness 
  G7              F            C 
I knew that I had cried myself awake 
     G7      F            C 
Last night I cried myself awake
