The Band – Sleeping (Guitar)

F               C
For the life we chose

       Dm         F
in the evening we rose

Bb        A            Dm     F
Just long enough to be lovers again.

    Bb          A
And for nothing more,

    Gm            C       F
the world was too sore to live in

F       C
Sad old ships,

  Dm      F
a morning eclipse

Bb         A          Dm      F
I spent my whole life guessing

       Bb              A
Then I turned from the sun,

    Gm       C   F
and saw everyone searching

F
The hoot owl and his song

                Bb
will bring you along

C             Bb                    F
Where else on earth would you wanna go?

F
We can leave all this hate

                Bb
before it's too late

C            Bb                 F
Why would we wanna come back at all?

F             C
Cobwebs on my pillow,

    Dm           F
I'm found in the willow

Bb           A          Dm      F
I'd spend my whole life sleeping

      Bb        A
To be called by noon

         Gm         C    F
is to be called too soon today

F            C
The storm is passed,

         Dm       F
there is peace at last

Bb            A          Dm      F
I'll spend my whole life sleeping

    Bb            A
Now there's not a sound,

Gm           C        F
no one to be found anywhere

F
The shepherd and his sheep,

                 Bb
will wind you to sleep

C             Bb                    F
Where else on earth would you wanna go?

F
To a land of wonder,

            Bb
when you go under

C            Bb                   F
Why would we want to come back at all?
