Dashboard Confessional – Sleep In (Guitar)

    G          D/F#
We woke around 3 A.M

    Em              D
Got up and we got dressed again

              C                    G/B
I said, "I'd like to walk you home

              Am
And stop for coffee"

        D
And we set about

    G                D/F#
Collecting up your scattered things

      Em                    D
Your coat, your hat, your scarf and rings

     C                    G/B              Am
Two books, your sisters' necklace and the key

     D                 G
That I'd had made for you

             D/F#
Down at the hardware store

Em                   D
As a gift, that I'd given you for

    C            G/B
No particular occasion

          Am             D
Nothing special, just a gesture

       G               D/F#
Of my feelings and we wound on down

      Em                  D
The creaking stairs were very loud

          C                           G/B
And you dragged your outstretched fingers

          Am                D
Down the walls and all the windows

    G                 D/F#
And I went first and held the door

        Em                       D
It was colder that night than the nights before

      C                  G/B
That kind of cold that steals your breath

   Am         D
Before you expect it

         G                 D/F#
And you took my gloveless hand in yours

     Em               D
One pocket shared to keep both warm

     C                   G/B
And with your other hand

                  Am                D
You pinched your coat tight at the collar

              G                 D/F#
And I thought it's too cold by far to snow

     Em              D
The sidewalk wasn't salted though

         C                    G/B
And we slipped somewhere, the ice took hold

   Am                D
In intermittent patches

     G              D/F#
And so we made our careful way

   Em                D
Across the park to twenty-eighth

    C            G/B
And into Rosa's Diner

            Am              D
Where they kept old coffee hot

         G                    D/F#
And the sign in front said, "Seat Yourself"

     Em             D
And so we went and sat ourselves

          C                G/B
And you chose the biggest booth

             Am              D
Because you said, "We are a party"

       G                 D/F#
And a lonely light was flickering

 Em                   D
Something off in the wiring

       C                   G/B
So it worked just like a broken thing

        Am                D
Trying hard not to be broken

         G              D/F#
And you said to me, "Remember this"

     Em         D
And so still remember it

      C                G/B
And though you didn't say why

     Am               D
I believed you had a reason

          G                  D/F#
And I'm thinking 'bout that now

         Em             D
As I'm grinding up our coffee grounds

         C                    G/B
In the bright kitchen of our house

         Am           D
As you sleep in this morning
