Am
I wonder, can you daydream at night?

F                     G
Lying awake, I've had too much time.

Am
I'm watching picture shows in the shadows

                      F
Dance for the crowd tonight.

     G                               F
Imagination is such a vivid place to hide, 

                  G
While stars watch over you.

               Am
Through silent homes

                         G
The lights are out but I walk these halls,

                      F
The way I've walked before,

               G                                  Am
Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls.

                         G
The lights are out but I walk these halls,

F                                        G                      Am
I promised not to wake you, so I'll walk light, just so you can hear,

                                         F
The rats in the roof and termites in the ceiling.

           G                                 Am
We'll hear everything except what we need to hear.

                                       F
Sleeplessness is for the restless, and I'm just fine,

        G                    F              G
Left to wander, aimless in unconsciousness.

Am              G                               F
There's spiders crawling from the corners of my eyes.

                            G                                    Am
Let them weave their little webs to snatch the sunlight from the lens.

                   G                                  F
I'm staring at the ceiling 'cause I'm fed up with the sight.

                         G                              F
Weigh my eyelids back to sleep, sealed by silken silver threads,

                  G
While stars watch over you.

               Am
Through silent homes

                         G
The lights are out but I walk these halls,

                      F
The way I've walked before,

               G                                  Am
Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls.

                         G
The lights are out but I walk these halls,

F                          G
Cast the sheep out of your mind,

                                   Am
Count the wolves and we'll sleep tonight.

Am                          G                         F
I stumble in and I stumble out of unfamiliar rooms in foreign houses,

    G
But I'm at home, 

Am                          G
Now a ghost that has left behind his sheets,

              F     G                                        F
Unrequited, until I wake up somewhere I know that I've never been.

               G                Am
I'll stay 'til sleep takes over you.

               G                F
I'll stay 'til sleep takes over you.

                    G                Am
And I'll walk while stars watch over you.

                    G                F
And I'll walk while stars watch over you.

               Am
Through silent homes

                         G
The lights are out but I walk these halls,

                      F
The way I've walked before,

               G                                  Am
Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls.

                         G
The lights are out but I walk these halls,

                      F
The way I've walked before,

               G                                  Am
Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls.

                        G
The lights are out but I walk these halls,

F                          G
Cast the sheep out of your mind,

                                   F
Count the wolves and we'll sleep tonight.
