Tucks the kids into bed and drinks a bottle of wine

Oh, whatever helps you sleep at night

Whatever makes you feel alright

Out of sight, and out of mind

Oh, whatever helps you sleep at night

You put your fsith in something you believe is true

Hoping it gives everything it's got back to you

With a leather-bound book and hope in an afterlife

Oh, whatever helps you sleep at night

Whatever makes you feel alright

Whatever brings you back to life

Oh whatever makes you feel alright
A
Just a something to ease your mind
G
Oh whatever helps you sleep at night
