[Intro] Bm Am Bm Am Bm Am Bm Am [Verse]
              G
When you sleep

              Am         G
Where do your fingers go?

             Am           G
What do your fingers know?

             Am           G
What do your fingers show?

              Am         G     Am G
Where do your fingers go?  Yeah
[Verse]
         Am
When you sleep

                G                 Am
Do they tremble on the edge of the bed

                    G             Am
Or do you fold them neatly by your head

                    G                     Am
Do they clench like claws against your own skin

                        Bm           Am
When you're living your day all over again
[Chorus]
Am
When you sleep

What do your fingers know?

          G
(When you sleep)

             Am
What do your fingers show?

          G
(When you sleep)

              Am
Where do your fingers go?

          G         Am G
(When you sleep) Yeah
[Verse]
Am               G            Am
Do they play guitar in a Latin bar

                      Bm
Are they strangers or lovers

                   Am
Do they drive your car

                     Bm
Are they swimming submissively

         Am
Sex acts of life

        G                           Am
Or just cutting through jello with a very sharp knife
[Bridge]
    C          G
Now Zeus was a womanizer

C             G
Always on the make

    C            D                 C               D
But Hera usually punished her that Zeus was one to take

         C                  G
When you sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep

Am            D        G
where do your fingers go?
[Interlude] Am D G Am D G Am D G Am D G Am D G Am D G Am D G Am D G C C G Am D [Verse]
         G                          C        D
Are they pulling out weeds from the dusty soil

        G                        C               D
But then never rewarded with the fruits of their toil

         G                             C              D
Are they scratching their nails on the chalkboards of death

     G                 C             D                G
Only seeking attention when everyone in the room has left
[Chorus]

(When you sleep)

              Am
Where do your fingers go?

          G
(When you sleep)

             Am
What do your fingers know?

          G
(When you sleep)

             Am
What do your fingers show?

          G
(When you sleep)

              Am
Where do your fingers go? Yeah

          G      A
(When you sleep)
[Outro]
         G
When you sleep

         G
Do they tremble on the edge of the bed

                                   D
Or do you fold them neatly by your head
