Ill Sleep

D Bm D

   D                  Bm    
My daddy used to sing 'bout a 
  D
preacher man
    G                      D
Who lost his wife, she was his whole
 life
He kissed me then he took me in with
     Bm       D
 his old gui- tar
          G                       
Man, that second verse, I hung on 
D
every word

  A                                
I drift off and get lost in between
 Em         G           A
 the melody and a dream

[Chorus]
               D      Em   G
And he'd sing, please come back to 
me
            D                    
We're gonna build this spring and 
         A
start a family
D      Em   G                D 
Please just one more day, so 
                 A
much to say, don't leave this way
Em                           Bm  
Lives on in my fondest memo- 
       G    A             D
ries, he'd sing and I'd sleep

        D
Well, I grew up like a weed through 
my teenage years
    G                              
Oh, daddy tried but I'd barely even
 D
 say goodnight
I'm sure he thought my mind was on 
girls and school
               G                  
But I was just way to cool to say I 
D
love you

[Pre-Chorus]
       A                           
But he didn't know that when I 
     Em            G
close my eyes and turn out the 
lights

[Chorus]
               D      Em   G
That I'd hear, please come back to 
me
            D                    
We're gonna build this spring and 
         A
start a family
D      Em   G                D 
Please just one more day, so 
                 A
much to say, don't leave this way
Em                           Bm  
Lives on in my fondest memo- 
       G    A             D Em F#m
ries, he'd sing and I'd sleep

          G
And after all those nights and all 
these years
                                 D 
Here we are and here he is taken 
              Em F#m
his last breath
G
And I'm man enough to cry, he's to 
young to say goodbye
     D                         
He's all but left, and man, I'm 
 A
scared to death

[Chorus]
D      Em   G                 D
Please come back to me, right 
                        A
now I need you more than anythin'
D      Em F#m  G                
Please just one more day, so 
D                     A
much to say, wish you could stay
       Em                          
And he squeezed my hand and kissed 
          Bm
me on the cheek
             G    A              D
And said you sing and I'll sleep
