[Intro] D G G [Verse]

G     D   G
Don't you sleep

          D      C
Don't you have a single moment's peace

     G                D             C              A7
Just walk through the darkness with fears that are deep

    G         D    G
And don't you even sleep

      D   G
Don't you smile

          D          C
Don't you have happy thoughts for a while

     G             D               C      A7
Till teardrops and sadness both go out of style

   G         D    G
No don't you even smile

[Chorus]

C
  These are the things I wish for you

   G
Oh deep in my heart how I hope they come true

C
  And then you'll know when bad turns to worse

          A7                        D
What it's like to live under love's curse

[Solo] G D G G G D C C G D C A7 G D G G [Chorus]

C
  These are the things I wish for you

   G
Oh deep in my heart how I hope they come true

C
  And then you'll know when bad turns to worse

          A7                        D
What it's like to live under love's curse

[Outro]

G     D   G
Don't you try

          D      C
To have a single thought that goes by

    G         D          C             A7
Without being haunted by memories like mine

   G         D    G   D   G
No don't you even try
