[Intro]
  G    Bm    C(x2)
GI can see you, don't even know you
CFalling into the sheets at night
GI place my hands flat on my chest
CI feel the heart beat back the night
GI try counting sheep, and I talk to the shepherd
CAnd I play with my pillow for ever and ever
GI sit alone and I watcBmh the clock
I breathe in on Cthe tick and out on the tDock
EmI can hear your bare feet on the kitcheCn floor
GI don't have to have these dreams no moreD  
CausEme I've found someone just to Chold me tight
EmHold the inCsomniDac all night
intro again played only one time
GDig my head down deep so I can't hear the Ccars outside on the street
And the stars are Glaughing
They get a kick out of Cmy misery
I tried eEmverything short of DAristotle
to GDramamine And the wChiskey bottle
EmPray for the day when my shDip comes in
GI can sleep the Bmsleep of the just agaCin
EmI can hear your bare feet on the kitcheCn floor
GI don't have to have these dreams no moreD  
CausEme I've found someone just to Chold me tight
EmHold the inCsomniDac all night

[Intro]

G Bm C

(x2)

I can see you, don't even know you

Falling into the sheets at night

I place my hands flat on my chest

I feel the heart beat back the night

I try counting sheep, and I talk to the shepherd

And I play with my pillow for ever and ever

G Bm

I sit alone and I watch the clock

C D

I breathe in on the tick and out on the tock

Em C

I can hear your bare feet on the kitchen floor

G D

I don't have to have these dreams no more

Em C

Cause I've found someone just to hold me tight

Em C D

Hold the insomniac all night

intro again played only one time

G C

Dig my head down deep so I can't hear the cars outside on the street

And the stars are laughing

They get a kick out of my misery

Em D

I tried everything short of Aristotle

G C

to Dramamine And the whiskey bottle

Em D

Pray for the day when my ship comes in

G Bm C

I can sleep the sleep of the just again

Em C

I can hear your bare feet on the kitchen floor

G D

I don't have to have these dreams no more

Em C

Cause I've found someone just to hold me tight

Em C D

Hold the insomniac all night
