Intro: F C G (twice)
F C G
The wind and rain drove hard and I could not see a thing
I looked outside my window and saw a hundred staring faces
a mixture of drinks and drugs had numbed my mind by nightfall
then something in me snapped and I just driped off to sleep
D Am
Rit: uuuh and I get breathless in the night
D Am
uuuh and I just wanna go to sleep
C G
rest my weary head and gently drift away
rest my weary head and gently drift away

but a million staring back at you will knock you off the wall
I've been a film star I have been a rock star
but now I'm nothing at all and I just wanna go to sleep
Rit: ...
Outro: F C G ...
Note: you should play the basic pattern (F-C-G) by strumming-stroking
on the lower four strings. Enjoy it!
