Sleep Instead Of Teardrops Chords

(ver. 2)
Del Amitri
Intro
E     Am    E     Am
  
Verse one
E                  Am         
Cry, cry out your eyes for ever, 

Bsus4    B  A
It won't go away

E             Am    
I, I'm just a dumb observer, 

Bsus4      B           A
It's so stupid what I say
  
Chorus

               E                       E7
Like every one else will do, I'm gonna lie to you 

                   Bm                 Dm               Dbm7
And tell you that life is cruel but someday your gonna wake up

        Bm7                E            A                A7
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes.
  
Verse two
E              Am         
And so, nobody lives forever, 

Bsus4    B         A
the crassest of cliches

E                        Am  
Like time,  time is the greatest healer,

Bsus4    B         A
but its a murderer today
  

Repeat Chorus
  
Mid 8

A7                            Dbm7      D
You know me holding you won't change anything,

                            Dbm7       D
I can't stop this whole charade continuing,

                       E               D
As each consoling kiss remains on your face,

          Bm     E    A    A7
Like a stain 
  
Verse three

E                      Am         
So cry, cry out those tears and let them,   

Bsus4 B         A
succumb to gravity

E                  Am         
And try, try as I might I'll never,       

Bsus4    B      A
fill that vacancy


              E                       E7
Like everyone else will do, I'm gonna lie to you,

                  Bm                  Dm               Dbm7
And tell you that life is cruel but someday your gonna wake up,

        Bm7           E                 A
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes,

A7                 Dbm7   
Someday your gonna wake up,

        D             E                 A              
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes.
