When she sleeps, there is a fever dream, yeah
It brings a night terror to harm this fragile bird
She speaks in tongues, her words they come undone, yeah ( Guitar 2 plays INTROx4 here as well)
And with a wayward mind she struggles through the night
CHORUS 1 *you can work he strumming patterns yourself there not too hard ;)*

(guitar 2 can do picking around the chords)
All... that I can do.....
Is hope... she makes it through...
Through the night, Through the night (<--verse comes in after the first night)
VERSE 2: (same guitar as first verse)
These cold nightmares, they make her worse for wear
Lost in the dark, she's got a heavy heart
And when she wakes, In her fragile state (Guitar 2 plays INTRO x4 here)
Well she calls my name, hoping that I keep her safe
CHORUS 2 (same chords but x4)
All... that I can do.....
Is hope... she makes it through...
After the second chorus is the solo, i haven't worked this out as i used an acoustic
version, hopefully i will soon. But heres he other guitar.
During Solo: (palm muted and chunking again. basically he firs chord in the the verse.)
