(I think this should be played with a capo on 4... otherwise start with
Bm and it will do fine- top line are the chord forms, bottom line is in
the right key [at least the recording I have])

I'm only sleeping...
3. Lying there and staring at the ceiling/Waiting for/a sleepy feeling
Please don't spoil my day/I'm miles away/And after all
I'm only sleeping...
