This song is finger-picked but can't really be heard clearly after the first verse so I
didn't try to tab it out exactly.

Intro:
C C Baug C C C

  C               E7               Ab      C
O Sleep, come for me        I will go quietly
          Fm6          C          E7
where the roof doesn’t leak in my heart

  C               E7              Ab             C
O Sleep, come for me        I’m a boat, sprung a leak
     Fm6             C          Gaddb9
I’ll hide and you’ll seek a new start

F             C                  Ab     C
for me. Until dawn          I’ll be too gone
C           A        Gaddb9  G
to care how grey the day is
    Am             C/E     F
The dreams that it chases away
          C       E7   C
they stay asleep.

  C               E7               Ab          C
O Sleep, come for me        I will come willingly
       Fm6         C         E7
like a leaf from a tree in October

  C               E7          Ab          C
O Sleep, come for me        I wait hopefully
      Fm6        C                  Gaddb9
I was drunk on a dream      now I’m sober

     F         C               Ab           C
From now until dawn         it can’t be too long
    C     A         Gaddb9    G
for me, I count the hours
       Am              C/E        F      C
‘til I sleep with your feet by my feet

     F         C               Ab           C
From now until dawn         it can’t be too long
    C     A         Gaddb9    G
for me, I count the hours
       Am              C/E        F      C
‘til I sleep with your feet by my feet

     C                   E7   C
your breath on my cheek,      asleep
