Dream Theater – Wait For Sleep (Ukulele)

Em
Standing by the window

C             Am
Eyes upon the moon

Em                      C                     Am     D
Hoping that the memory will leave her spirit soon

Am                        D
She shuts the doors and lights

            Em            C
And lays her body on the bed

Am                 D                Em    C
Where images and words are running deep

Am                 D               Em                C   
She has too much pride to pull the sheets above her head

Am              D                  Em     C   Am
So quietly she lays and waits for sleep

Em                                           C       Am
She stares at the ceiling and tries not to think

Em                                           C
And pictures the chain She's been trying to link again

         Am           D
But the feeling is gone

Am               D         Em   C              
And water can't cover her memory

Am               D          Em   C
And ashes can't answer her pain

Am                D            Em             C
God give me the power to take breath from a breeze

Am                     D         Em
And call life from a cold metal frame

D            Am
In with the ashes

D                             C
Or up with the smoke from the fire

D                Am
With wings up in heaven

D                 C
Or here, lying in bed

D                      Am
Palm of her hand to my head

D                C             D
Now and forever curled in my heart

                       C
And the heart of the world
