[Verse]
D A Em
While you sleep
Bm7 G
Coiled up like a spring
Bm7 G D A Asus4 A
I remember everything from the first day
D A Em
Summer flowers
Bm7 G
Shimmering down the street
Bm7 G D A Asus4 A
Plastic sandals on your feet in the doorway
C D
You looked so hungry
C D
You couldn’t stand still
C D A
You made everything in the flat look so cheap
F#m Em
I showed you round
D G
Forgetting when to breathe
F#m Em
And that's still the way I feel
C G D
When I watch you while you sleep
[Interlude]
(repeat intro parts twice)
D
[Verse]
D A Em
While you sleep
Bm7 G
The Earth revolves in space
Bm7 G D A Asus4 A
Ships and planes they race towards tomorrow
D A Em
You took the room
Bm7 G
And pretty soon I knew
Bm7 G D A Asus4 A
That we all would fly to you like little arrows
C D
Fancy dressers
C D
Queens and jesters
C D A
Throwing glances your way
F#m Em
In the street
D G
Never worries me
F#m Em C G D
Cause I’m the one that gets to be beside you while you sleep
[Bridge]
Bm7 F#m Em F#m
Once on a still, grey motorway day
D A G Bm7 G E
We jumped the green fence and we lay
E
Watching all the expensive people speeding away
[Solo]
(Lead Guitar has no capo here to reach low note)
Bm7 G Bm7 G Bm7 G D A
A|-----------|-----------|-----------------|
E|-4-5-4-2-0-|-4-5-4-2-0-|-4-5-4-2-0-4-4-2-|
[Verse]
C D
Just before the sun’s up
C D
The wallpaper lights up
C D A
And another car climbs the hill
F#m Em
They will keep
D G
Whatever plans they’ve made
D G
They’ll wait for another day
F#m Em
When I will tell you things that now
C G D
I only tell you while you sleep
[Outro]
