I'll Sleep Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Em][D][A][D][Em]
[D]

[Verse 1]
My [D]daddy used
to sing [G]about a preach[D]er man
Who [G]lost his wife, she was [D]his whole life
[G]He kis[D]sed me then he took me
[Em]in with his ol[D]d guitar
Man that [G]second verse,
I hung on [D]every word

[Verse 2]
I'd [A]drift off and get lost
[Em]in between
[G]A melody and [A]a dream

[Verse 3]
and he'd sing
[D]Please [Em]come back[G] to me,
we're gonna [D]build this spring and start a [A]family
[D]Please [Em]just one [G]more day,
so much [D]to say, don't [A]leave this way
[Em]Lives on in my fondest [Bm]memories,
[G]he'd [Gsus2]sing and [G]I'd[A] sleep
[D]

[Verse 4]
[G]Well, I [D]grew up like a weed
through my teenage years
Oh, [G]daddy tried but I'd
barely even [D]say goodnight
[G]I'm sur[D]e he thought my mind
was [Em]on g[D]irls and school
But I was just [G]way too cool to say [D]I love you

[Verse 5]
But he [A]didn't know that when
I close [Em]my eyes
And turned [G]out the lights that I'd hear

[Verse 6]
[D]Please [Em]come back[G] to me,
we're gonna [D]build this spring and start a [A]family
[D]Please [Em]just one [G]more day,
so much [D]to say, don't [A]leave this way
[Em]Lives on in my fondest memor[Bm]ies,
[A]he'[G]d sin[A]g and I'd sle[D]ep[Em]
[D]After

[Verse 7]
[G]all those nights and all these years
Here we are and here he is
taking [D]his last [Em]breath[D]
[G]And I'm man enough to cry and
he's way too young to say goodbye
And he's [D]all but lived and man
[A]I'm scared to [D]death
[Em]Please [G]come

[Verse 8]
back [Gsus2]to me,
[G]right now I n[D]eed you more than anyt[A]hing[D][Em]
[D]Please just [G]one more day, so [D]much to say,
wish [A]you could stay
And he [Em]squeezed my hand and kissed
me on [Bm]the cheek
And said you [G]sing [A]and I'll sleep
[D]
