[Intro]



Em - C - Em - D - Em







Em

I wonder, can you daydream at night?

C                     D

Lying awake, I've had too much time.

Em

I'm watching picture shows in the shadows

                      C

Dance for the crowd tonight.

     D                               C

Imagination is such a vivid place to hide, 

                  D

While stars watch over you.





               Em

Through silent homes

                         D

The lights are out but I walk these halls,

                      C

The way I've walked before,

               D                                  Em

Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls.

                         D

The lights are out but I walk these halls,

C                                        D                      Em

I promised not to wake you, so I'll walk light, just so you can hear,





                                         C

The rats in the roof and termites in the ceiling.

           D                                 Em

We'll hear everything except what we need to hear.

                                       C

Sleeplessness is for the restless, and I'm just fine,

        D                    C              D

Left to wander, aimless in unconsciousness.





Em              D                               C

There's spiders crawling from the corners of my eyes.

                            D                                    Em

Let them weave their little webs to snatch the sunlight from the lens.

                   D                                  C

I'm staring at the ceiling 'cause I'm fed up with the sight.

                         D                              C

Weigh my eyelids back to sleep, sealed by silken silver threads,

                  D

While stars watch over you.





               Em

Through silent homes

                         D

The lights are out but I walk these halls,

                      C

The way I've walked before,

               D                                  Em

Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls.

                         D

The lights are out but I walk these halls,

C                          D

Cast the sheep out of your mind,

                                   Em

Count the wolves and we'll sleep tonight.





Em                          D                         C

I stumble in and I stumble out of unfamiliar rooms in foreign houses,

    D

But I'm at home, 

Em                          D

Now a ghost that has left behind his sheets,

              C     D                                        C

Unrequited, until I wake up somewhere I know that I've never been.

               D                Em

I'll stay 'til sleep takes over you.

               D                C

I'll stay 'til sleep takes over you.

                    D                Em

And I'll walk while stars watch over you.

                    D                C

And I'll walk while stars watch over you.







               Em

Through silent homes

                         D

The lights are out but I walk these halls,

                      C

The way I've walked before,

               D                                  Em

Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls.

                         D

The lights are out but I walk these halls,

                      C

The way I've walked before,

               D                                  Em

Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls.

                        D

The lights are out but I walk these halls,

C                          D

Cast the sheep out of your mind,

                                   C

Count the wolves and we'll sleep tonight.
