G

[Verse 1]
          D      C       G
Sleep you little soldier boy
               D          C
With your ear against the wall
         G         D     C           G
You have held that rifle all of your life
                 D      G
Now it's time to let it fall

[Verse 2]
          D      C  G
Sleep you little alibi
                  D    C
With your reasons in a row
         G         D       C           G
You have turned in circles all of your life
                    D        G
Just so your shadow wouldn't show

[Chorus]
D          G   D          G
Dream with me, dream with me
      Am      G      D
We'll wake in better days
          G       D                           C
And we'll build a boat and we'll hope that it floats
        G           D     G
We will sail, we'll sail away

[Verse 3]
                   D      C   G
And now, sleep you little résumé
                D        C
With your head above the crowd
         G         D         C           G
You have held your breath in all of your life
                 D    G
Just to make somebody proud

[Verse 4]
                  D        C  G
Oh now, sleep you little reservoir
                    D    C
Let your banks just over-flow
        G        D    C           G
No, you can't contain all of that rain
                     D      G
You're gonna have to let it go

[Chorus]
D          G   D          G
Dream with me, dream with me
      Am      G      D
We'll wake in better light
      G      D              C
And until we rise with open eyes
    G         D         G
Goodnight, my love, goodnight
                D         C
Yes, until some sun wakes everyone
    G         D         C
Goodnight, my love, goodnight
    G
Goodnight
