Sleeper 1972 Chords

(ver. 2)
Manchester Orchestra
[Verse]

Bm   A      D        G          D/F#          Em
When my dad died the worms ate out both his eyes.
    G               D/F#       Em        G       A        Bm  A  G
His soul flew right up in the sky and I cried myself to sleep.


Bm   A     D     G            D/F#     Em
My mother lies alone on her back at night.
 G          D/F#            Em        G         A        Bm  A  G    Bm  A  G
Adding up hours till her demise, she counts herself to sleep.


Bm       A        D      G          D/F#          Em
When my sister finds my body closed up like the blinds,
G               D/F#      Em            G       A        Bm  A  G   Bm  A  G
I tell her I promise its fine, but she cries herself to sleep.


Bm   A            D      G           D/F#          Em
The men in black ties arrive at the house in surprise.
G                 D/F#        Em          G                A         Bm  A  G    Bm  A  G
To find a little girl by your side in the wood box where you're sleeping.


[Bridge]

G             A      Bm          A        G
I still see you inside of this God-awful house
     Bm            A    G
You move awfully quiet now
G             A             Bm  A  G
And I still feel you everywhere
     Bm                A                G
You told me this has always been worth living,
G                           Bm  A  G    Bm  A  G
But what's really worth living anymore?
