Capo III

[verse]
           Emin9   C majorC
I couldn't sleep last night
    G+G            B7B7 B7/A  Emin9
I laid awake and wished you were here
             C majorC          G+G
I wished that I had more time to make more mistakes
       B7B7     B7/A
I'd make them louder and clearer

[chorus]

C majorC     B7/Eb   G+G
I couldn't sleep last night
C majorC        B7/Eb  G+G A7/C#
It wasn't for my lack of trying
C majorC        B7/Eb   G+G A7/C# C majorC A7/C#
I just couldn't sleep last night___

   D MajorD     C majorC
Not a light was on
    Bm7Bm7 BbM7Bbm7 Am7Am7   G+G    A7/C# (riff)
While I held this song in mind of you
  C majorC           B7/Eb G+G
And what you do, what you do to me

[verse]
Emin9        C majorC
I even followed the rules
      G+G       B7B7 B7/A  Emin9
I closed my eyes I didn't move
           C majorC
If I was only stronger I wish that I was stronger here
G+G
Referring through the heartsong dear
   B7B7          B7/A
Cause this day will be the longest of the year

[chorus]

C majorC     B7/Eb   G+G
I couldn't sleep last night
C majorC        B7/Eb G+G A7/C#
I just couldn't get it right
C majorC        B7/Eb   G+G A7/C# C majorC A7/C#
I just couldn't sleep last night___

    D MajorD    C majorC     Bm7Bm7    Am7Am7
By the light of day may my dreams be waiting

[bridge]

  Cmaj7Cmaj7
In time
  Bm7Bm7    Bm7Bm7 / BbM7Bbm7 / Am7Am7 (quick slide)
In due time
        B7/Eb    F#Maj7F#maj7
I will rest my thoughts of you

[solo]

Emin9                              C majorC
Could I be more lucky than I've grown to be just knowing that I know her
        G+G        B7B7       B7/A
Why shouldn't I show her all the wise of getting older
Emin9                           C majorC
Could she be more perfect in perfection her reflection is casting
        G+G       B7B7  B7/A
Well that's the last thing I'm ever asking

[chorus]

C majorC     B7/Eb   G+G
I couldn't sleep last night
C majorC        B7/Eb G+G A7/C#
I just couldn't get it right
C majorC        B7/Eb   G+G A7/C# C majorC A7/C#
I just couldn't sleep last night___

[outro]
D MajorD C majorC Bm7Bm7 / BbM7Bbm7 / Am7Am7 G+G

This is the longest day of the year
