Sleep v2

Lyrics copied from americanmusicclub.com

Am7                            Bm7 
Now I love all the seven deadly sins
Am7                            Bm7                             C
I love to watch them smile on the celebrity smile show
Am7                                          Bm7           
You know that’s the show where everybody wins
Am7                            Bm7                 C
a fabulous tour of the hell they already know
Am7                                      Bm7 
and some people know how to trap the light
Am7                   Bm7        C
like a bird in flight traps the sun
Am7                                                  Bm7 
Some keep their lump of coal safely out of sight
Am7                            Bm7           C
thinking that one day it’ll turn into a diamond

Em7                              Dm7                  C               Am7                 
If I had a song that could dissolve you like sleep –
Em7            Dm7                    C
a pedal steel guitar simple and clean –

Em7                              Dm7                  C             Am7          G
if I had a song that could dissolve you like sleep
Em7                              Dm7          C
maybe you’d hear it all through your dream

Now altar boys look good in lace
but they’re not known for their guts or their good nature
Goodness is not some pretty picture you paint
It’s shaking your fist into the face of danger

If I had a song that could dissolve you like sleep –
sleep is the only gift that they give you –
If I had a song that could dissolve you like sleep
maybe you’ll have a dream you want to come true

Some saviors weep and weep
and they think their tears are gonna sew the world together
Some saviors live in trouble deep
and die knowing nothing more than failure

If I had a song that could dissolve you like sleep –
maybe it could save you
if I had a song that could dissolve you like sleep
maybe it would save you
