Sleep’s dark and silent gate – Jackson Browne (Album: The Pretender) Intro: |A E/G# |F#m C#m/E |D |A/E E |
    A            E/G#              F#m      
Sometimes I lie awake at night and wonder

C#m/E              D
Where my life will lead me

                A/E           E               F#m    A/G
Waiting to pass under Sleep's dark and silent gate

D          E        A
I found my love too late

D              
Running around day after day

A/C#            C#7/F
Looking for the time to play

         F#m         F#m/E     F#m/D#
While my old friends slipped away

Esus
Never should have had to try so hard

          E
To make a love work out, I guess

D                                 E
I don't know what love has got to do with happiness

        F#m                A/E
But the times when we were happy

         F#m/D#            D
Were the times we never tried

A
Sitting down by the highway

A/C#             D
Looking down the road
Waiting for a ride
             A
I don't know where I've been

                A/C#   D
Wishing I could fly away
Don't know where I'm going Wishing I could hide
A           A/C#    D
Oh God this is some shape I'm in

         A/E
When the only thing that makes me cry

       E
Is the kindness in my baby's eye

    A           E/G#               F#m
Sometimes I lie awake at night and wonder

C#m/E                D
Where the years have gone

                     A/E
They have all passed under

        E               F#m      A/G     D      A
Sleep's dark and silent gate
