Sleeper 1972

By Candler English G G/F# D G G/F# Em When my dad died the worms ate out both his eyes. G G/F# Em G Bm G His soul flew right up in the sky and I cried myself to sleep. G G/F# D G G/F# Em My mother lies alone on her back at night, G G/F# Em G Bm G Adding up hours till her demise, she counts herself to sleep. G G/F# D G G/F# Em When my sister finds my body closed up like the blinds, G G/F# Em G Bm G I tell her I promise its fine, but she cries herself to sleep. G G/F# D G G/F# Em The men in black ties arrive at the house in surprise. G G/F# Em G Bm G To find a little girl by your side in the wood box where you're sleeping. G D Bm A G I still see you inside of this God-awful house Bm A G You move awfully quiet now G D Bm A G And I still feel you everywhere G G/F# D You told me this has always been worth living, D G BA G But what's really worth living anymore? Outro: Bm A G
