 C majorC        E7E7        AbAb   C majorC
O Sleep, come for me    I will go quietly
     Fm6Fm6     C majorC     E7E7
where the roof doesn’t leak in my heart

 C majorC        E7E7       AbAb       C majorC
O Sleep, come for me    I’m a boat, sprung a leak
   Fm6Fm6       C majorC     Gaddb9
I’ll hide and you’ll seek a new start

FF       C majorC         AbAb   C majorC
for me. Until dawn     I’ll be too gone
C majorC      A augmentedA    Gaddb9 G+G
to care how grey the day is
  A minorAm       C/EC/E   FF
The dreams that it chases away
     C majorC    E7E7  C majorC
they stay asleep.

O Sleep, come for me    I will come willingly
    Fm6Fm6     C majorC     E7E7
like a leaf from a tree in October

 C majorC        E7E7     AbAb     C majorC
O Sleep, come for me    I wait hopefully
   Fm6Fm6    C majorC         Gaddb9
I was drunk on a dream   now I’m sober

   FF     C majorC        AbAb      C majorC
From now until dawn     it can’t be too long
  C majorC   A augmentedA     Gaddb9  G+G
for me, I count the hours
    A minorAm       C/EC/E    FF   C majorC
‘til I sleep with your feet by my feet

your breath on my cheek,   asleep
