C Em Am F C Em G

[Verse 1]
       C      Em        Am                F
We can all agree it's a mixed bag for the living
        C               Em      G   G7
Full of sorrow, full of grief

  C             Em            Am                        F
I ransacked the place for the single thought that could comfort me
          C                Em      G   G7
Something small, something sweet

       C           Em               Am                        F
It was once in the spring, you were on the porch, I heard you singing
       C             Em                           G   G7
From inside, sat and listened through the screen

[Verse 2]
C            Em             Am                  F
Now it's the time, the last liferaft leaving my mind
      C            Em     G   G7
As it sinks out of sight

          C          Em               Am                 F
Would you stay for a while – put your gnarled hands into mine?
        C
Hold me down
          Em                  G            G7
I feel so light, I could just float away

[Chorus]
     C     Em  Am F   F C Em     G     G7
Just don't let me     go      to sleep

[Verse 3]
   C        Em
So long, my sweet
      Am                F
Maybe next time that we meet
         C               Em                    G
We'll be whole, we'll be weightless, we'll be free

[Chorus]
C     Em  Am F   F C Em     G     G7
Don't let me     go      to sleep
     C     Em  Am F   F C Em     G     G7
Just don't let me     go      to sleep
     C     Em  Am F   F C Em     G     G7
Just don't let me     go      to sleep
