Ooo-ooo, ooo-ooo

G#m
Ooo-ooo, ooo-ooo
[Verse 1]
          G#m
She won't lie down

      G#m
Can't close her eyes

        E                                      G#m
There's too many things to go south before the sunrise

        G#m
Are you tired?

        G#m
Are you terrified?

        E                                      G#m
There's too many things to go south before the sunrise

      F#
So she grits her teeth

         E
Puts the baby to sleep

   G#m
And waits
{Break] G#m G#m E G#m [Verse 2]
          G#m
She won't lie down

Won't hesitate

      E                                             G#m
She's breaking her knuckles on truths that keep her awake

          G#m
And she's tired

        G#m
But her jaw is set

           E                                   G#m
She won't lose any more of the heart she still has left

      F#
So she says a prayer

          E
Pulls the covers near

     G#m
And waits
[Break] G#m G#m E G#m [Chorus]
B    E
Margaret

For all that creeps at night

B    E         G#m
Margaret won't sleep
[Break] G#m G#m E G#m [Verse 3]
         G#m
She lost one man

     G#m
To a strangers hand

          E
She still carries his mem'ry around

           G#m
When she's careless

         G#m
She lost one man

     G#m
To a whiskey glass

          E
She still carries his dead weight around

           G#m
When she's careless

        F#
But her head is clear

          E
She won't shed a tear

         F#
Puts the baby to bed

       E
Before hanging her head

   G#m
To wait
[Break] G#m G#m E G#m [Chorus]
B    E
Margaret

      G#m
Won't sleep tonight

B    E
Margaret

      G#m
Won't sleep tonight

             B
She wouldn't dare

    E        G#m
For all that creeps at night
