Sleeping Dogs

	  		Intro: E  G  A  E   (2x)  

            Abm     A 
I'm so tired of not moving 
       G       A         E 
Now my skin is stiff and sore 
                Abm        A 
And I'm so tired of not looking 
        G          A    E 
At that thing that we ignore 


                  Abm                    A 
And I'm so nervous that you'll see me seeing  
       G         A       E 
If you turn your face anymore 
           Abm                  A 
And I'm so careful to keep your secrets 
          G        A    
What do I do this for 



     E  G                A                        E 
Wake up, it's getting late and the sun is on the rise 
                               G    
And it's time to open up those blinds and let it shine 
         A                     E    G  A  E 
On those sleeping dogs you let lie 



               Abm                    A 
I always wondered where you got the notion 
          G       A        E 
That your silence does not hurt 
               Abm                       A 
'Cause I can see the truth when you lean over 
            G              A      E 
It's in the pocket of your shirt 


             Abm                 A 
And unspoken, it might feel like mercy 
           G                A                   E 
But all it means is there's things you've never said 
              Abm                  A 
It only means I have no way of knowing 
            G     A    
If it's all in my head 



     E  G                 A                        E 
Wake up, it's getting late and the sun is in the sky 
                               G    
And it's time to open up those blinds and let it shine 
        A              G         A            E    A  B  A   
On those sleeping dogs, sleeping dogs you let lie 
         B 
You know why 



Instrumental: A  E  G  A  E    G  A  E     


                   Abm                 A                 G 
And for a long time, I don't think you ever really knew 
          A                E 
About the state that I was in 
                          Abm  
And I guess that would be my fault, babe 
       A                         G                A        E 
'Cause all I ever showed you was skin, I sure did show you some skin 


                Abm          A 
Now you got that x-ray close-up 
             G    A           E 
You got that microscope to my gut 
                 Abm           A 
And that is not a, a one way offer 
                      G         A    
So I'll tell you what, tell you what 



     E  G                 A                      E 
Wake up, it's getting late and the sun is in the sky 
                               G    
And I'm here to open up those blinds and let it shine 
        A                          G        A       E    
You may be sleeping soundly, but I will not let you lie 
        G     A         G   A 
Let you lie      (woof) 
     E                      G 
Wake up, I will not let you  
                    A                      G 
Sleeping dogs, wake up, I will not let you lie 
     E  G               
Wake up, I will not let you 
                         A                          G 
Sleeping dog, you may be sleeping soundly, sleeping soundly 
     E                     G               
Wake up, I will not let you 
                   A                      E 
Sleeping dog, wake up, I will not let you lie 
                             G                  
Wake up, it's getting so late 
                         A                       G        A        E 
Sleeping dog, you may be sleeping soundly, but I will not let you
