Sleep Alone

New versions

Tone: [C]
Fingerpicking/Strumming pattern: D-DU
 
[Am7]No, my [F]only goal is to [Am7]see when I'm [F]only fast as[Am7]asleep
It takes [F]more
than strength to [Am7]find this pe[F]peace of mind
 
 
So I'll [G]hold, hold, hold, hold it c[Am7]close
To my heart [F]beating with every s[Dm]step
Hold, hold, hold it clo[G]close
 
 
[Am7] He sleeps al[F]alone,
He needs no [Dm]army where he's h[G]headed cause he k[Am7]knows
That they're just gh[F]ghosts
And they can't [Dm]hurt him if he can s[G]see them
[Am7] And I may g[F]go
To places [Dm]I have never b[G]been to just to [Am7]find
The deepest d[F]desires in my [Dm]mind [G]
 
 
[Am7]We, we [F]only know, what we [Am7]see
cause we're [F]always fast a[Am7]asleep
Cause it's [F]so hard not to
be[Am7]believe that we'll ne[F]never know
 
 
Oh h[G]hold, hold, hold, hold me c[Am7]close
I've never [F]been this far from h[Dm]home
Hold, hold, hold me clo[G]close
 
 
[Am7] He sleeps al[F]alone,
He needs no [Dm]army where he's h[G]headed cause he k[Am7]knows
That they're just gh[F]ghosts
And they can't [Dm]hurt him if he can s[G]see them
[Am7] And I may g[F]go
To places [Dm]I have never b[G]been to just to [Am7]find
The deepest d[F]desires in my [Dm]mind [G]
 
 
 
[Em]It's in my head
And I have [E7]said
That I must be like him
[F] He sleeps a[Am7]alone,
[F] He sleeps a[Am7]alone
[Em]And one last chance
To make [E7]sense
Of what has long escaped us
[F] He sleeps a[Am7]alone,
[F] I sleep a[Am7]alone
 
 
(In the next chorus the first four chords
are strummed once, then continues the normal
way in the second Am7)
 
[Am7] He sleeps alo[F]alone,
He needs no [Dm]army where he's h[G]headed cause he k[Am7]knows
That they're just gh[F]ghosts
And they can't [Dm]hurt him if he can s[G]see them
[Am7] And I don't k[F]know
If in the [Dm]morning I will [G]be here and if [Am7]so
Let it be kn[F]known
That I was w[Dm]worthy
I was w[G]worthy, I was worthy, I was
 
Am7 - F - Dm - G until the end of the song
