Intro: C 

  C               E7               Ab      C 
O Sleep, come for me        I will go quietly 
          Fm6          C          E7 
where the roof doesn’t leak in my heart 

  C               E7              Ab             C 
O Sleep, come for me        I’m a boat, sprung a leak 
     Fm6             C          G 
I’ll hide and you’ll seek a new start 

F             C                  Ab     C 
for me. Until dawn          I’ll be too gone 
C           A        G  G 
to care how grey the day is 
    Am             C/E     F 
The dreams that it chases away 
          C       E7   C 
they stay asleep.

O Sleep, come for me        I will come willingly 
       Fm6         C         E7 
like a leaf from a tree in October 

  C               E7          Ab          C 
O Sleep, come for me        I wait hopefully 
      Fm6        C                  G 
I was drunk on a dream      now I’m sober 

     F         C               Ab           C 
From now until dawn         it can’t be too long 
    C     A         G    G 
for me, I count the hours 
       Am              C/E        F      C 
‘til I sleep with your feet by my feet

for me, I count the hours 
       Am              C/E        F      C 
‘til I sleep with your feet by my feet 

     C                   E7   C 
your breath on my cheek,      asleep
