Intro: Am  Fmaj7  C  Em  (x4) 


Am         Fmaj7 
Sleep well Emily 
    C                           Em 
The noise that you make carries over to the morning 
       Am                      Fmaj7 
And my shaky legscarryyou to bed 
C                            Em 
Sleepoff the emptiness that cowers withdread 
Am                             Fmaj7 
 Hold your ticket above your shoulders 
          C              Em 
As the Chicago river continuestoboil 
Am 
 Withyour feet inthe water 
Fmaj7 
 And yourhead in your pillow 
C                    Em 
 Your body floats to sea 
                        C/F 
And your eyes fill with sleep 

Am  Fmaj7  C  Em  (x2) 


 
Am         Fmaj7 
Sleep well Emily 
    C                         Em 
The lights up above have been beaming the shore 
           Am            Fmaj7 
And you’re up, up on the balcony 
    C                                     Em 
The air don’t stand a chance against your clattering teeth 
Am                          Fmaj7 
 And I’ve been waiting for hours 
        C                      Em 
As your eyes swoop dangerously low 
Am                       Fmaj7 
 Evn breaths from your windpipe 
           C                          Em 
And in the morning I lft, I saw your light fall into mine 


 
F                      G 
 We only danced behind closed doors 
        E7                         Am 
And the kiss from your lips on my forehead, it burns 
        G 
And the scorching cold of that November night will be forevermore
