[Verse 1]
BBaby if I could keep it together, don't you Ethink I'd try?
And Bmaybe if I could make something of this, Ewhy wouldn't I?
You say I Bclose a blind eye that I don't put up the time
But what you Esee as goodbye, I don't see as a crime
I'm Btired of the blame being put on my head
You're Ebreathing fire but it's not bringing back what's BdeadE  B  E  
[Chorus 1]
BDon't F#get your Eback up over this
  BIf I'm so F#wrong and you're so Eright
BYouF#, well you got your Emind made up I guess
  F#Won't you let me get some sleep tonight?B  E  
[Verse 2]
It's Blate now and there's only four hours 'til EI get up again
You know I'd Bwait somehow if I thought this was something that a Elittle time would mend
BYou, you're dragging this Emisery on
Let's Bleave this thing for a while, it's Etoo far gone, too far BgoEne
[Chorus 2]
BDon't F#get your Eback up over this
  BIf I'm so F#wrong and you're so Eright
BYou F#really got your Emind made up I guess
  F#Won't you let me get some sleep
  F#Won't you let me get some sleep?
  F#Won't you let me get some sleep tonight?B  
[Chorus 3]
BDon't F#get your Eback up over this
  BIf I'm so F#wrong and you're so Eright
BYouF#, well you got your Emind made up I guess
  F#Won't you let me get some sleep
  F#Won't you let me get some sleep?
  F#Won't you let me get some sleep tonight?

Let's leave this thing for a while, it's too far gone, too far gone
