Am                     F
There's a little house on a perfect little hill
                 G
Just short of a fairytale
Am                            F
There's a little child with a million ways to feel
                G
Caught up in a hurricane

Paper thin walls
Angry words from down the hall
Something changed them
I think about him every now and again

Chorus:
Am                          F
Now there's a ghost at the back of this room
             G
And I don't like it
Am                     F
I fall asleep with my covers pulled up
            G
And try to fight it
Am                F
I gotta say it's hard to be brave
                          G
When you're alone in the dark
Am                    F               G
I told myself that I wouldn't be scared

                      Am     F
But I'm still having nightmares
G
(I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake)
                  Am   F
I'm still having nightmares
G
(I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake)

Every little thing got me coming back around
Digging up old memories
Always used to be the one to let it go
Kept my fears in a suitcase

I locked them away
In a place they wouldn't find
They still haunt me
I think about it every now and again

Chorus

(I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake)
I'm still having nightmares
(I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
I'm still having nightmares
I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake)

Now there's a ghost in the back of this room
And I don't like it
I fall asleep with my covers pulled up
And try to fight it

Chorus:
Now there's a ghost in the back of this room
And I don't like it
I fall asleep with my covers pulled up
And try to fight it
I gotta say it's hard to be brave
When you're alone in the dark (alone in the dark)
I told myself that I wouldn't be scared
But I'm still having nightmares
(I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake)

I'm still having nightmares
(I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
I'm still having nightmares)

I gotta say it's hard to be brave
When you're alone in the dark (alone in the dark)
I told myself that I wouldn't be scared
But I'm still having nightmares
(I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake)
