Verse:
Db
You've been deep in a coma
But I stood right here
Bbm
When you thought there was no one
I was still right here
Gb
You were scared, but I told you
Ab                  Db
"Open up your eyes"
Db
Never stopped being someone who could love you well
Bbm
Had to show you the hard way
Only time will tell
Gb
Revelations and heartaches
Ab              Db
make you realize

Pre-Chorus:
           Bbm  Ab     Gb
That I was always in front of you

Chorus:
Db
So wake up
              Bbm
Your sleeping heart
        Gb
I know sometimes we'll be afraid
                          Ab
But no more playing safe, my dear
I'm here
        Db
So wake up

So wake up
              Bbm
Your sleeping heart
            Gb
And we will dream a dream for us
                            Ab
That no one else can touch, my dear
I'm here
        C
So wake up

I think in +1 if you swap the A and the D around only at the end of the chorus it sounds better

Please do not ask for strumming patterns. Sharing online how to literally play a song (i.e. strumming, rhythm and tempo) is not allowed by the MPA (Music Publishers Association) because of copyright issues.

Carefully listen to the song and try to really "feel" the rhythm. Once you get the basics of strumming, I can assure you it'll go real quick. Maybe the strumming guide can help you on your way.
