Verse 1:
A augmentedA A/GA/G D/F#D/F# D/F
The clock by the bed is ticking
A augmentedA A/GA/G E MajorE
too loud in the quiet night
A augmentedA A/GA/G D/F#D/F# D/F
I lie in the darkness thinking
A augmentedA A/GA/G E MajorE
I must go before it's light.
A augmentedA E MajorE
Before you open up your eyes
F# minorF#m DmDm
and you beg me to stay
A augmentedA E MajorE
I'll leave 'cause I can't stand
F# minorF#m E MajorE
to see you hurt this way.
Chorus 1:
DmDm G+G
Sleep my love aa-as
C majorC A minorAm
as I kiss you goodbye
DmDm G+G
Then I won't he-e-ear
E MajorE
the sound of your cry.
Verse 2:
A augmentedA A/GA/G D/F#D/F# D/F
Though I knew the time was coming
A augmentedA A/GA/G E MajorE
and our love would end somehow
A augmentedA A/GA/G D/F#D/F# D/F
I just couldn't bear to tell you
A augmentedA A/GA/G E MajorE
exactly just when or how.
A augmentedA E MajorE
I know we can't go on,
F# minorF#m DmDm
that it was wrong to start
A augmentedA E MajorE
But if you wake up crying now,
F# minorF#m E MajorE
you know you'll break my heart.
Chorus 1: (x3)
DmDm G+G
Sleep my love aa-as
C majorC A minorAm
as I kiss you goodbye
DmDm G+G
Then I won't he-e-ear
