Em
  Please sleep my
         C
darling sleep
                  Em
Your cry for inspiration
never reaches ears
   C
on distant stars
Em
  And every night our
C
lonely planet slides
           Em
across the universe
C
  And I won't pretend
I understand

(verso 2)
Em
  Please sleep my
         C
darling sleep
Your death by
     Em
information won't
disturb the peace
   C
on distant stars
Em
  And even when you
C
lock the doors and
slide behind
    Em
the unlit shades
C
  None of us are
strangers anymore

(refrão)
G
  So fall asleep
                     Em
with the windows open
G
  Come to me with the
                      Em
worst you've said and done
G
  You'll close your
eyes and see me
Em
  A little death makes
life more meaningful
G                         Em
  I stand no chance at all

( Em  C )

(verso 3)
Em
  Please sleep
            C
my darling sleep
Your car crash in
     Em
slow motion won't upset
            C
the pace on distant stars
Em                   C
  And one by one our years
of our lives stumble
       Em
as the moments pass
C
  So please hold on
Please hold on
