Verse1

Dm               D12   Dm
You can a look a hurricane right in the eye
          D12   Dm
1200 people dead or left to die
 Dm             Bb         Dm
Follow the leaders, we're in an eye for an eye we'll all be blind

             Bb          Dm      A
Death for murder and this I'm sure in this uncertain time


Chorus

 Dm                 Fmaj7
So come pull the sheet over my eyes

        Bb
So I can sleep tonight

 Dm        C
Despite what I've seen today

 Dm           Fmaj7           Bb
I find you guilty of a crime, of sleeping at a time

 Dm             C
When you should have been wide awake


Interlude=intro

Dm          D12       Dm
Down on the road the world is floating by
Dm           D12    Dm
The poor and undefended left behind
                     Bb
While you're somewhere trading lives for oil

 Dm              A
As if the whole world were blind


Chorus

 Dm                Fmaj7
So come pull the sheet over my eyes

So I can sleep tonight

Despite what I've seen today

 Dm            Fmaj7           Bb

When you should have been wide awake

Come pull the sheet over my eyes

        Bb
So I can sleep tonight

 Dm        C
Despite what I've seen today

 Dm             Fmaj7           Bb
I find you guilty of the crime of sleeping at a time
