Intro:
A E
Verse 1:
A E A
All I can hear are the crickets
D A
And the whistle from some lonely freight
D A
I've been working so hard to make everything right
Bm E
But for now it'll just have to wait
Chorus:
A
'Cause tonight I'd like you to rock me to sleep
D A
I'd like you to sing me a song
D A
I'm tired of trying to figure things out
E A
And I'm tired of being so strong
[Solo 1]

Verse 2:
A E A
I've never been too good at asking

If we can't do it all on our own

A
So tonight I'd like you to rock me to sleep

It's funny how times when your hurtin'
D A
Make what's so familiar seem strange

And when you need help, it's hardest to ask
Bm E
And it always takes so long to change

A
Tonight I'd like you to rock me to sleep
D A
I'd like you to sing me a song
D A
I'm tired of trying to figure things out
