CAPO: 5th Fret
INTRO: C  
CSleepless nights don't bother me at Gall
And if dawn comes I won't Amworry
A7Something deep inside keeps me aDmwake
I E7wish that you were here right beAmside me
CI recall when I was very Gyoung
And I could not fall sAmleep
My A7father sang me songs to make me Dmtired
But E7memories don't come so easiAmly
CHORUS:
So goodFnight, goodCnightE7  
Wherever you are Amsleeping
And I Fhope that if you Cdream you dream of Gme
GoodFnight, goodCnightE7  
Wherever you are Amsleeping
And I Fhope that if you Cdream Gyou dream of Cme
CNow I lie awake and it's no Gfun
I'm tossing and Amturning
I'd A7call you if it weren't so very Dmlate
But E7telephones won't bring you close to Amme
CI recall the nights we stayed up Glate
Wide awake but still Amdreaming
There was A7nothing on this earth that could make me Dmtired
But E7memories don't come so easiAmly
CHORUS:
So goodFnight, goodCnightE7  
Wherever you are Amsleeping
And I Fhope that if you Cdream you dream of Gme
GoodFnight, goodCnightE7  
Wherever you are Amsleeping
And I Fhope that if you Cdream Gyou dream of Cme
And I Fhope that if you Cdream Gyou dream of Cme
