Sleep Tabs

(ver. 1)
Savatage
PROPS GO TO: Matt

Sleep by Savatage from the album Edge of Thorns, 1993.

Every tab I've ever seen for this song has been inaccurate.
This may not be completely right, but it sounds right to me.
Bear with me, because this is my first tab. Hope you enjoy!

Written by Jon Oliva, Criss Oliva, Paul O'Neill  

Intro
Verse One:
Hey there you
Way out there in the distance
Can you hear me
Are you there

I know it's late
So please forgive my persistence
But I'm hanging
Do you care

Chorus:
So lay back
Call off the attack
Cause if you look deep
Dreams are nothing that I lack
And all I seek
A final chance to speak
And I would let the whole thing keep
If I could just sleep

Verse 2:
Hey there you
Way out there could you show me
Just a signal
Or a sign
That after all
All these years that you've known me
And I'm not just killing time

(Chorus)

Bridge:
As I lay there late at night
Building castles in the air
Out of alibis and all those little lies
And then I look inside
And pray that I don't care

I don't care

I don't care

Outro:
Hey there you way out there in the distance...



Well, there it is, a great song, and my first tab ever! hope you like it!
-Matt
