As You Sleep

Tom: G

           G                  Em
close your eyes and I will be swimming
C                   G
lullabies fill your room
              Em       C               Em
and I will be singing, singing to only you
          G                 Em
don't forget I'll hold your head
          C                G
watch the night sky fading red

G      Em
as you sleep
    D
and no one is listening
G      Em                C
I will lift you off your feet
     D                       
I'll keep you from sinking 
G         Em      G
don't you wake up yet
       Em                   D
'cause soon I'll be leaving you
Em                   D
soon I'll be leaving you, but
                     G
you won't be leaving me

       G        Em               C
in the car, the radio leaves me searching
         G 
for your star
          Em             C              G
a constellation of frustration, driving hard
        Em                  C
singing my thoughts back to me
              Em             G
like watching heartache on T.V.




          G                 Em
don't forget I'll hold your head
          C                G
watch the night sky fading red...


    G      Em
but as you sleep
    D
and no one is listening
G      Em                C
I will lift you off your feet
     D                       
I'll keep you from sinking 
G         Em      G
don't you wake up yet
       Em                   D
'cause soon I'll be leaving you
Em                   D
soon I'll be leaving you, but
                     G
you won't be leaving me
