While You Were Sleeping Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]While you [Asus4]were slee[D]ping,
I was [A]lying awake
[D]Trying to frame some words around
[G]the right thing to say
You're even [D]breathing,
it was a [A]soundtrack to my fear
Know[D]ing this could be the last
night [G]having you here
[A]Once it gets [G]out in the [D]open
[G]Once the truth like [D]this is revealed
[A]There's no way[G] to go bac[D]k
To be[G]fore the way it [D]made you [A]feel
And the [G]weight of all the secrets
[A]Lay [G]heavy on me [A]while
you were sleep[D]ing
[G]While you [Asus4]were sleeping[D]
Did my [A]shoulders shake
Was [D]the pillow wet when
morning fi[G]nally came
Those [D]quiet moments sounded [A]aw fully loud
I [D]guess that's what I'll hear when
you're no [G]longer around
[A]Well, a de[G]cision's been [D]made
And you [G]live with your
choice [D]every [A]day
Some world might [G]have to be heard
[D]And you car[G]ry what your con
[D]science can [A]take
And the [G]weight of all the secrets
I've [A]been keeping
Lay [G]heavy on me [A]while you're sleep[D]ing
[G]While you wer[Asus4]e sleepin[D]g,
your [A]lovin' was betrayed
Lost [D]in the momentum of
[G]no thought of today
There in the [D]darkness,
suddenly [A]it all fell wrong
So [D]without a word that door was closed
Then [G]I was all alone
[A]No love
But [G]a line had been crossed
[D]And there's no [G]way to [D]make it oka[A]y
It's too late
To ex[G]cuse this mis[D]take
And my [G]silence only fill
[D]s me with s[A]hame
And the [G]weight of all the secrets
I've been [A]keeping
Lay [G]heavy on me [A]while you were sleep[D]ing
No mat[G]ter how the heart wants
what the [A]heart wants
Man, that's [G]nothing on how bad I
want to [A]take it or [Am]bed[F][G][A]
And the [G]weight of all the secrets
I've been [A]keeping
Lay [G]heavy on me [A]while
you were sleep[D]ing
[G]While you [Asus4]were sleeping
