  The clock by the bed is ticking

G/D               C/D          C/D D
  Too loud in the quiet night

G   G/F        C/E      Cm/Eb
  I lie in the darkness thinking

G             C/D       D
  I must go before it's light.

[Bridge]

G                 D/F#
  Before you open up your eyes

        Em             Cm
And you beg me to stay

G D/DF# I'll leave 'cause I can't stand

           Em              C/D D
To see you hurt this way

[Chorus]

Cm            F
Sleep my lo-o-ove

          Bb          Gm
As I kiss you goodbye

     Cm           F
Then I won't he-e-ear

                  Dsus4  D
The sound of your cry

[Verse 2]

G          G/F      C/E      Cm/Eb
  Though I knew the time was coming

G/D                  C/D     C/D  D
  And our love would end somehow

G   G/F           C/E     Cm/Eb
  I just couldn't bear to tell you

G              C/D     D
  Exactly just when or how

[Bridge]

G                 D/F#
  I know we can't go on

            Em             Cm
That it was wrong to start

    G                D/F#
But if you wake up crying now,

                Em             C/D D
You know you'll break my heart

[Chorus]

Cm            F
Sleep my lo-o-ove

          Bb          Gm
As I kiss you goodbye

     Cm           F
Then I won't he-e-ear

                  Dsus4  D
The sound of your cry

[Chorus]

Cm            F
Sleep my lo-o-ove

          Bb               Gm
As I kiss you-ou-ou goodbye

     Cm           F
Then I won't he-e-ear

                  Dsus4  D
The sound of your cry

[Chorus]

    Cm            F
Oh, sleep my lo-o-ove

          Bb                          Gm
As I kiss you, kiss you, kiss you goodbye

     Cm           F
Then I won't he-e-ear

                  Dsus4  D
The sound of your cry

[Chorus]

    Cm            F
Oh, sleep my lo-o-ove

          Bb               Gm
As I kiss you-ou-ou goodbye
