<< Back to John Mayer Song List
Version 1 Version 2 Version 4
            Standard tuning EADGBE

This is a tricky one. Not as difficult as it first seems... but having seen some 
variable versions, I am confident this is extremely accurate!!

[Verse 1]

=======

G               A7                  C
    When you're dreaming with a bro-ken heart
G       A7               C
    The waking up is the hardest part
G            A7                  C
    You roll out of bed and down on your knees
G             A7                   C
    And for a moment you can hardly breathe


[Refrain 1]

=========

          Em7 D/F#  G   G/B  C
Wondering was she   rea-lly  here
       Em7   D/F# G  G/B C
Is she stand-ing  in my  room
         Gadd2/B
No she's not
          Cadd9 G/B  Gm/Bb Am7  G
Cos she's gone  gone gone  gone gone

[Verse 2]

=======

G               A7                  C
    When you're dreaming with a bro-ken heart
G       A7               C
    The giving up is the hardest part
G       A7                    C 
    She takes you in with her crying eyes
G            A7                  C 
    Then all at once you have to say goodbye


[Refrain 2]

=========

          Em7   D/F# G    G/B  C
Wondering could you  stay my   love
         Em7  D/F# G  G/B  C
Will you wake up   by my   side
       Gadd2/B
No she can't
          Cadd9 G/B  Gm/Bb Am7  G 
Cos she's gone  gone gone  gone gone

[Verse 3]

=======

                 G                A7              C
Now do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand
             G                A7              C
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand
             G                A7              C
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand
             G                A7          C
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my roses in my hands


[Refrain 3]

=========

              Em7 D/F# G  G/B  C
And would you get them if I    did
       Gadd2/B
No you won't
           Cadd9 G/B  Gm/Bb Am7  G 
Cos you're gone  gone gone  gone gone

    The waking up is the hardest part
