[Verse 1]
G G/F C/E Cm/Eb
The clock by the bed is ticking
G/D C/D C/D D
Too loud in the quiet night
G G/F C/E Cm/Eb
I lie in the darkness thinking
G C/D D
I must go before it's light.
[Bridge]
G D/F#
Before you open up your eyes
Em Cm
And you beg me to stay
G D/DF#
I'll leave 'cause I can't stand
Em C/D D
To see you hurt this way
[Chorus]
Cm F
Sleep my lo-o-ove
Bb Gm
As I kiss you goodbye
Cm F
Then I won't he-e-ear
Dsus4 D
The sound of your cry
[Verse 2]
G G/F C/E Cm/Eb
Though I knew the time was coming
G/D C/D C/D D
And our love would end somehow
G G/F C/E Cm/Eb
I just couldn't bear to tell you
G C/D D
Exactly just when or how
[Bridge]
G D/F#
I know we can't go on
Em Cm
That it was wrong to start
G D/F#
But if you wake up crying now,
Em C/D D
You know you'll break my heart
[Chorus]
Cm F
Sleep my lo-o-ove
Bb Gm
As I kiss you goodbye
Cm F
Then I won't he-e-ear
Dsus4 D
The sound of your cry
[Chorus]
Cm F
Sleep my lo-o-ove
Bb Gm
As I kiss you-ou-ou goodbye
Cm F
Then I won't he-e-ear
Dsus4 D
The sound of your cry
[Chorus]
Cm F
Oh, sleep my lo-o-ove
Bb Gm
As I kiss you, kiss you, kiss you goodbye
Cm F
Then I won't he-e-ear
Dsus4 D
The sound of your cry
[Chorus]
Cm F
Oh, sleep my lo-o-ove
Bb Gm
As I kiss you-ou-ou goodbye
