capo on 2nd
(A) Baby if I could keep it together
Don't you (D) think I'd try
And (A) maybe if I could make something of this
(D) Why wouldn't I
You say I (A) close a blind eye
That I don't put up the time
And what you (D) see as goodbye
I don't see as a crime
I'm (A) tired of the blame
Being put on me head
You're (D) breathing fire
But it's not bringing back what's (A) dead (D) (A) (D)
(A)Don't (E) get your (D) back up over this
(A)If I'm so (E) wrong and you're so (D)right
But (A)you (E)well you got your mind made up I guess
(E) Won't you let me get some sleep tonight (A) (D)
It's (A) late now and there's only 4 hours till (D) I get up again
You know I'd (A) wait somehow if I thought this was something that a
(D) little time would mend
But (A) you - you're dragging this (D) misery on
Let's (A) Leave this place for awhile
It's (D) too far gone - too far (A) gone (D)
(A)Don't (E) get your (D) back up over this
(A)If I'm so (E) wrong and you're so (D)right
But (A)you (E)well you got your mind made up I guess
(E) Won't you let me get some sleep
(E) Won't you let me get some sleep
(E) Won't you let me get some sleep tonight (A)
(A)Don't (E) get your (D) back up over this
(A)If I'm so (E) wrong and you're so (D)right
But (A)you (E)well you got your mind made up I guess
(E) Won't you let me get some sleep
(E) Won't you let me get some sleep
(E) Won't you let me get some sleep tonight (A)to(D)night (A)to(D)night
