                      Em9     C 
I couldn't sleep last night 
        G                        B7 B7/A   Em9 
I laid awake and wished you were here 
                         C                    G 
I wished that I had more time to make more mistakes 
              B7         B7/A 
I'd make them louder and clearer 


C          B7/D#      G 
I couldn't sleep last night 
C                B7/D#   G  A7/C# 
It wasn't for my lack of trying 
C               B7/D#      G  A7/C#  C  A7/C# 
I just couldn't sleep last night___ 


      D         C 
Not a light was on 
        Bm7  A#m7 Am7     G       A7/C# (riff) 
While I held this song in mind of you 
    C                     B7/D# G 
And what you do, what you do to me 

Em9               C 
I even followed the rules 
            G             B7 B7/A   Em9 
I closed my eyes I didn't move 
                      C 
If I was only stronger I wish that I was stronger here 
G 
Referring to my heartsong dear 
      B7                   B7/A 
Cause this day will be the longest of the year 

Chorus 

C          B7/D#      G 
I couldn't sleep last night 
C               B7/D#  G  A7/C# 
I just couldn't get it right 
C               B7/D#      G  A7/C#  C  A7/C# 
I just couldn't sleep last night___ 

       D        C          Bm7       Am7 
By the light of day may my dreams be waiting 


bridge 

   Cmaj7 
In time 
   Bm7       Bm7 / A#m7 / Am7 (quick slide) 
In due time 
               B7/D#       F#maj7 
I will rest my thoughts of you 

solo 

Em9                                                           C 
Could I be more lucky than I've grown to be just knowing that I know her 
                G                B7              B7/A 
Why shouldn't I show her all the wise of getting older 
Em9                                                     C 
Could she be more perfect in perfection her reflection is casting 
                G              B7   B7/A 
Well that's the last thing I'm ever asking 

C          B7/D#      G 
I couldn't sleep last night 
C               B7/D#  G  A7/C# 
I just couldn't get it right 
C               B7/D#      G  A7/C#  C  A7/C# 
I just couldn't sleep last night___
