Sleep With No Bad Dreams

C        F                 Am      F
So near asleep I hear your breath:
C           F              Am    F
the root of living in your chest.
C         F                 Am   F
It is the fact that you are here.
C         F                  Am   F
It is the proof that you are here.

C                  F
What’s done should just be done.
      Am        F
Don’t talk just use our lungs.
    C           F        Am       
The brains that your dad said you 
F
had,
               C    F       
you lost them. Terrified of our 
Am    F
potential,
    C       F             Am      
and all the ways we might fail to 
F
meet it.


[Chorus]
F           G
‘Round here we are all the same,
G                   F
we want sleep with no bad dreams
Am                  G
in our own bed with heat
G                F           
from somebody who won’t keep me 
    C
awake.

[Verse 2]
C            F                Am  F
The simplest act is still the one
C            F                 
that we’ll remember when we’re 
Am   F
done.
C              F           Am  F
The last thing I hope I forget,
C         F                    
when everything else starts to 
Am   F
slip,
   C        F         Am    
is sleeping over your parents’ 
   F
bedroom.
C           F      Am       F
We’d turned 18 not long ago.
    C    F          Am      F
The open window had made it so cold.
    C      F                  Am  
For me you shut it, then came back
 F  Am
 to bed.

[Chorus]
F           G
‘Round here we are all the same,
G                   F
we want sleep with no bad dreams
Am                  G
in our own bed with heat
G            F                  
from somebody who won’t keep me

                             G
So nothing risked is nothing gained.
G                  F
It’s the surest way to stay safe.
Am                      G
Afraid to spell out the ways
G                     F
that we think we could help each 
other.
Am                  G
So lay next to me tonight.
G                 F
Though I may not be satisfied
Am                  G
I will stay by your side
G             F                 
and be company ‘til the morning 
Am
light.
