[Verse]
EmI try to sleep but my eyes are open
GI can't think cause my heart is broken
CAnd there's a bottle right next to me
DI'll down a few drinks just to take the pain away
EmI wanna say all the things I need to say
GI won't lie, I'll just tell them honestly
CIf God can take a friend away from me
DThen I can say all I want and he won't do anything
[Pre-Chorus]
EmMy tongue is weak and evCery time I try to speak 
I can't say Gnothing at Dall
[Chorus]
EmSleep well, my Cfriend
There will be Ganother moment we'll meet agDain, just let it go
EmSleep well, Cgoodnight
You're something to reGmember
I Dwish that you were here by my side
[Interlude]
Em  G  C  D

EmI spend hours tryna make it through the day
GI don't know if I'll ever be the same
CIt's hard enough when you're all alone
DIn the city that you love, now Atlanta's just a burial ground
[Pre-Chorus]
EmMy tongue is weak and every Ctime I try to speak 
I can't say Gnothing, Dnothing at all
EmIt's hard to think when losing Csomeone only make you wanna Gscream
And now that you're Dgone
[Chorus]
EmSleep well, my Cfriend
There will be Ganother moment we'll meet agDain, just let it go
EmSleep well, Cgoodnight
You're something to reGmember
I Dwish that you were here by my side
[Bridge]
EmAll the stained pieces, CI can't believe this
A Gmother shouldn't witness her Dson die at twenty-four
(Please don't know this is for the hopeless,
It's ripping me apart and I can't take it anymore)
EmI will hold my Ctongue for the rest of my Glife
I Dcan't keep this up anymore
[Chorus]
EmSleep well, my Cfriend
There will be Ganother moment we'll meet agDain, just let it go
EmSleep well, Cgoodnight
You're something to reGmember
I Dwish that you were here by my Emside

By my Gside
By my Dside
