[Intro 1]
[C][Em][C][Em][C][Em][C][Dsus4]
[Am][C][G][C][Dsus4][Am]
[C]
[G][C]
Now it's coming [Dm]to the end of the even

[Verse 1]
[Dsus4]ing
[Dm]The time w[Am]hen the ceiling sways
and objects jerk [C]out of place
Your eyelids heavy,
you make your [Eb]way down the yellow [Dm]streets[Dsus4]
[Cm]past rows and [Am]rows of houses
curtains drawn tight [C]against
the cold [Cm]night [C]air
to a flight of [Dsus4]stairs
which [Am]lead [Em]to a room
[Am]where a bed is waiting
for you to lie [C]down
perhaps [G]alone, [C]perhaps not
and go to [Dm]sleep [Am]again
[C][G]

[Verse 2]
[C]
They [D]wait [Dsus4]alone[Am][C]
[Am]in unuse[C]d room[Dsus4] s
they sit [Am]and t[C]hey [Am]remember[Em][Am]
Oh, [C]please [G]remem[C]ber
[Dsus4][Am][G][C]
So you [F]lie on your back [Dm]in the dark
and [Em]listen to the blood
[Am]rushing in [F]your ears
[Am]and the soft "tick, tick,
tick" of [Em]your watch [C]against the mattress springs
Patterns [Am]merge behind [Dm]your eyes
[Am]Purple and green, glowing gently
[C]and all is sof[Cm]t with furry darknes[C]s
[F]You yawn onc[Dm]e
[Em]turn on your [Am]side
and fall to sleep [G]again[C]

[Verse 3]
They [G]wait [Am]alon[C]e
[G]they [C]bathed your eye[Dsus4]s[Dm]
when [Am]nights were [G]cold
[C]Remem[Dsus4]ber[G][Am]
[C]Oh, [G]please re[C]member[Dm]
[Am]

[Verse 4]
[G]There's something [C]you've forgotten
When [F]you awoke later [Dm]that night the bedroom
was cold and [Am]you were alone
[C]Alone and afraid of [Cm]the dark
[Dm][Am][Adim][Cm]
Watching
[Adim]Wait ing[Cm][Adim][Cm]
Watching
[Dm]Wait[Dsus4] ing[Am][Adim][Cm][Dm]
[Cm]As y[Adim]ou lie o[Cm]n your back[Dm]
naked beneath [Am]the cold sheet[Adim]s
Not dead, [Cm]just sleeping
Sleep[Adim]ing
[Cm]And you will n[Adim]ever wake[Cm]
[Adim]again.[Cm]

[Outro 1]
