Kris Delmhorst - Sleeping Dogs



INTRO: E  G  A  E   (2x)

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

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


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


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


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


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


INSTRUMENTAL: A  E  G  A  E    G  A  E


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


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


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