| G7 |
[Verso 1]
C Am
At night when I ought to be sleepin'
F
That's when you start creepin'
G7/13
Into my memory
C Am
And tears they keep my eyes from closin'
F
Kept my heart locked and frozen
G7/13
Until you melted me
C Am
So say, won't you be my lullaby
F G7/13
Oh, baby, won't you be my man
C Am
And say, tell me that I shouldn't cry
F G7/13
Oh, tell me, you will understand
[Verso 2]
C Am
Out in the thick of the hot night
F
Under these city street lights
G7/13
I'm unraveling
C Am
I long for the dawn to start breakin'
F
She knows my heart is achin'
G7/13
And she'll deliver me
C Am
So say, won't you be my lullaby
F G7/13
Oh, baby, won't you be my man
C Am
And say, tell me that I shouldn't cry
F G7/13
Oh, tell me, you will understand
