[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
Em C G _
I cook dinner with some friends
Em C . G _
Tidy up the house tie up loose ends
Em C G _
Now the sun has yet to set
Em C _
A little staring at the ceiling
G Em _
Pick a book I never read
C G _
And I get lonely for a bit
Em C G Am _
Comes in waves and then it split like a kiss
C _ (G)
That missed my lips
[Chorus]
G D _ C _
Will you do me a kindness?
G D _ Am _
Point the sun right into my flesh
_ _ . C _
I want nothing left
G D _ Am _ (C)
Will you do me a kindne--e--ess?

[Verse 2]
C G _
The way a fly comes so quick
Em C G _
Through a door that’s swung open
Em C G _
Flung out chairs scatter the yard
Em C _
While the wind does its whipping
G Em _
From the porch a stranger’s song
C G _
And I get lonely I admit
Em C G Am _
Comes in waves and then it quit like a kiss
C _ (G)
That missed my lips
[Chorus]
G D _ C _
And will you do me a kindness?
G D _ Am _
Point the sun right into my flesh
_ _ . C _
I want nothing left

I'll paint that hide cherry red
C _ . G _
Leave no words to be said
C _ G _
Won't wear my heart on my sleeve
C _
So I can slip out
_ G _ C
Will you slee-e--ep?
_ G _ C
Will you slee-e--ep?
_ G _ C
Will you slee-e--ep?
_ G _ C
Will you slee-e--ep?

Will you slee-e--ep?

Will you sleep?

And will you do me a kindness?

Point the sun right into my flesh

I want nothing le--e---eft
