Kris Delmhorst - Sleeping Dogs


INTRO: E MajorE G+G A augmentedA E MajorE  (2x)

      AbmAbm   A augmentedA
I'm so tired of not moving
    G+G    A augmentedA     E MajorE
Now my skin is stiff and sore
        AbmAbm    A augmentedA
And I'm so tired of not looking
    G+G     A augmentedA  E MajorE
At that thing that we ignore

         AbmAbm          A augmentedA
And I'm so nervous that you'll see me seeing
    G+G     A augmentedA    E MajorE
If you turn your face anymore
      AbmAbm         A augmentedA
And I'm so careful to keep your secrets
     G+G    A augmentedA
What do I do this for


CHORUS:
   E MajorE G+G        A augmentedA            E MajorE
Wake up, it's getting late and the sun is on the rise
                G+G
And it's time to open up those blinds and let it shine
     A augmentedA           E MajorE  G+G A augmentedA E MajorE
On those sleeping dogs you let lie


        AbmAbm          A augmentedA
I always wondered where you got the notion
     G+G    A augmentedA    E MajorE
That your silence does not hurt
        AbmAbm            A augmentedA
'Cause I can see the truth when you lean over
      G+G       A augmentedA   E MajorE
It's in the pocket of your shirt


       AbmAbm         A augmentedA
And unspoken, it might feel like mercy
      G+G        A augmentedA          E MajorE
But all it means is there's things you've never said
       AbmAbm         A augmentedA
It only means I have no way of knowing
      G+G   A augmentedA
If it's all in my head

CHORUS:
   E MajorE G+G         A augmentedA            E MajorE
Wake up, it's getting late and the sun is in the sky
                G+G
And it's time to open up those blinds and let it shine
    A augmentedA       G+G     A augmentedA      E MajorE  A augmentedA BB A augmentedA
On those sleeping dogs, sleeping dogs you let lie
     BB
You know why


INSTRUMENTAL: A augmentedA E MajorE G+G A augmentedA E MajorE  G+G A augmentedA E MajorE


          AbmAbm         A augmentedA         G+G
And for a long time, I don't think you ever really knew
     A augmentedA        E MajorE
About the state that I was in
             AbmAbm
And I guess that would be my fault, babe
    A augmentedA             G+G        A augmentedA    E MajorE
'Cause all I ever showed you was skin, I sure did show you some skin


        AbmAbm     A augmentedA
Now you got that x-ray close-up
       G+G  A augmentedA      E MajorE
You got that microscope to my gut
         AbmAbm      A augmentedA
And that is not a, a one way offer
           G+G     A augmentedA
So I'll tell you what, tell you what


CHORUS:
   E MajorE G+G         A augmentedA           E MajorE
Wake up, it's getting late and the sun is in the sky
                G+G
And I'm here to open up those blinds and let it shine
    A augmentedA             G+G    A augmentedA    E MajorE
You may be sleeping soundly, but I will not let you lie
    G+G   A augmentedA     G+G  A augmentedA
Let you lie   (woof)
   E MajorE           G+G
Wake up, I will not let you
          A augmentedA           G+G
Sleeping dogs, wake up, I will not let you lie
   E MajorE G+G
Wake up, I will not let you
             A augmentedA             G+G
Sleeping dog, you may be sleeping soundly, sleeping soundly
   E MajorE           G+G
Wake up, I will not let you
          A augmentedA           E MajorE
Sleeping dog, wake up, I will not let you lie
               G+G
Wake up, it's getting so late
             A augmentedA            G+G    A augmentedA    E MajorE
