Intro:
We’re rolling

Alrighty


Verse 1:
Bb                             Gm
Counting constellations on the popcorn ceiling
Eb                                  Bb
And staring at your picture on the wall
Bb                               Gm
Rays of lonely moonlight slowly slice through the blinds
Eb                    Bb
As the tears begin to fall


Chorus:
Eb                    Bb
I’m tired of sleeping alone
Eb                        Bb
I just wanna be where you are
 Eb                                    Bb
Tired of saying goodnight through the phone
 Eb                                Bb
And wakin' up each morning in the dark
 Bb
Better say a prayer
 F
Turn out the light
 Gm              Eb
Sigh and hug my pillow tight

I’ll be with you soon my dear
               Bb
If only in my dreams


Instrumental:
Bb Gm Eb Bb


Verse 2:
  Bb                            Gm
Who I am trying to fool, baby? I’m the one to blame
 Eb                       Bb
For the forces keeping us apart
 Bb
I’m stubborn and I’m bold
                               Gm
And work's got me in a stranglehold  
        Eb                        Bb
Keepin' a vice around my heart
Gm                 F                  Eb
Indifference over distance don’t fare well
   Gm              F
Maybe a goodnight kiss from you
 Eb                     Bb
Could break me from my spell


Chorus:
 Eb                           Bb
'Cause I’m tired of sleeping alone
Eb                         Bb
I just wanna be where you are
 Eb                                   Bb
Tired of saying goodnight through the phone
  Eb                               Bb
And wakin' up each morning in the dark
  Bb
Better say a prayer
  F
Turn out the light
 Gm              Eb
Sigh and hug my pillow tight

I’ll be with you soon my dear
               Bb
If only in my dreams


Instrumental:
Bb Gm Eb Bb  x2



Bridge:
F   Gm       Eb      Bb
   Ah, here we go again
 Gm     Eb      Bb
Off to never never-land


Outro:
 Bb
Better say a prayer
 F
Turn out the light
 Gm              Eb
Sigh and hug my pillow tight

I’ll be with you soon my dear
               Bb
If only in my dreams
 Bb
Better say a prayer
 F
Turn out the light
Gm               Eb
Sigh and hug my pillow tight

I’ll be with you soon tonight
               Bb
If only in my dreams
