Sleep

C Em Am F C Em G

[Verse 1]
       C      Em        Am       
We can all agree it's a mixed bag
         F
 for the living
        C               Em      G
Full of sorrow, full of grief
   G7


  C             Em            Am 
I ransacked the place for the 
                       F
single thought that could comfort me
          C                Em      
Something small, something sweet
G   G7


       C           Em             
It was once in the spring, you 
  Am                        F
were on the porch, I heard you 
singing
       C             Em     
From inside, sat and listened 
                      G   G7
through the screen

[Verse 2]
C            Em             Am  
Now it's the time, the last 
                F
liferaft leaving my mind
      C            Em     G   G7
As it sinks out of sight

          C          Em        
Would you stay for a while – put 
       Am                 F
your gnarled hands into mine?
        C
Hold me down
          Em                  G   
I feel so light, I could just 
         G7
float away

[Chorus]
     C     Em  Am F   F C Em  
Just don't let me     go      
   G     G7
to sleep

[Verse 3]
   C        Em
So long, my sweet
      Am                F
Maybe next time that we meet
         C               Em       
We'll be whole, we'll be 
             G
weightless, we'll be free

[Chorus]
C     Em  Am F   F C Em     G     G7
Don't let me     go      to sleep
     C     Em  Am F   F C Em  
Just don't let me     go      
   G     G7
to sleep
     C     Em  Am F   F C Em  
Just don't let me     go      
   G     G7
to sleep
