Sleeping With The Television On

Written by Billy Joel

	  		

           A/C#         Bm    G        D/F#     G 
I've been watching you waltz all night Diane 
         D               Bm       A             D 
Nobody's found a way behind your defenses 
            A/C#       Bm  G           D/F#     G 
They never notice the zap gun in your hand 
              D/F#            Em            D/F#     
Until you're pointing it and stunning their senses 

Bm   A      G       D/F#   Em    G 
All night long, all night long 
                 D/F#                     Bm           A    Bm 
You'll shoot 'em down because you're waiting for somebody  
         A       G 
good to come on 
Bm   A     G         D/F#  Em 
All night long, all night long 
                 G               A          Gmaj7  
But you'll be sleeping with the television on 

A   Bm/D    
A   Gmaj7 
A   Bm/D 
A   Gmaj7 

           A/C#         Bm    G        D/F#     G 
You say you're looking for someone solid here 
                D                  Bm       A             D 
You can't be bothered with those `just for the night' boys 
            A/C#       Bm  G           D/F#     G 
Tonight unless you take some kind of chances dear 
              D/F#            Em            D/F#     
Tomorrow morning you'll wake up with the white noise 

Bm   A      G       D/F#   Em    G 
All night long, all night long 
                 D/F#                     Bm           A    Bm 
You're only standing there 'cause somebody once did  

         A       G 
somebody wrong 
Bm   A     G         D/F#  Em 
All night long, all night long 
               G               A           Bm 
But you'll be sleeping with the television on 

                      D/G    G    D/G    G 
Your eyes are saying talk to me, talk to me 
                             A/B  Bm  A/B  Bm  D/G    G 
But your attitude is "don't waste my time" 
                      D/G    G    D/G    G 
Your eyes are saying talk to me, talk to me 
          D/G   G                      Bm/A            A 
But you won't hear a word 'cause it just might be the same  
   Bm/A       A7 
old line 

           A/C#         Bm    G        D/F#     G 
This isn't easy for me to say Diane 
       D                  Bm       A             D 
I know you don't need anybody's protection 
            A/C#       Bm  G           D/F#     G 
I really wish I was less of a thinking man 
              D/F#            Em            D/F#     
And more a fool who's not afraid of rejection 

Bm   A      G       D/F#   Em    G 
All night long, all night long 
                 D/F#                     Bm           A    Bm 
I'll just be standing here 'cause I know I don't have the  
         A       G 
guts to come on 
Bm   A     G         D/F#  Em 
All night long, all night long 
               G               A           Bm 
And I'll be sleeping with the television on 

                      D/G    G    D/G    G 
Your eyes are saying talk to me, talk to me 
                                 A/B  Bm  A/B  Bm  D/G    G 
But my attitude is "boy, don't waste your time" 
                      D/G    G    D/G    G 
Your eyes are saying talk to me, talk to me 
          D/G   G                      Bm/A            A 
But I won't say a word 'cause it just might be somebody  
          Bm/A       A7 
else's same old line 

Instrumental verse 

Bm   A      G       D/F#   Em    G 
All night long, all night long 
                 D/F#                     Bm           A    Bm 
We're only standing here 'cause somebody might do somebody  
  A       G 
wrong 
Bm   A     G         D/F#  Em 
All night long, all night long 
               G               A           Gmaj7  A  Bm/D 
And we'll be sleeping with the television on 
                  A     Gmaj7 
Sleeping with the television on 
                   A      Bm/D     A   Gmaj7    A Bm/D 
Sleeping with the television on 
        A Gmaj7                    A          D6 
Ooohhhhhhh,     Sleeping with the television on
