Intro: D--F#m--Em--F#m--G--F#m--Em--A--;

D Em
I took a walk around the yard
F#m
Dug the flowers til it got too hard
F#m/A Bm
I smoked my first pack of cigarettes today
G
And, I watched the children play.

D Em
And, then I went down, down to Lucy's old Cafe
F#m
Put a half a case away
F#m/A Bm
I took a sleeping pill and tried to watch TV
G F#m
But you know baby the leading lady looked
Em A
too much like you for the likes of me.

Bm F#m G
And, I woke up crying in my sleep
F#m Bm Em A
I was talking to your pillow
Bm F#m G F#m
And I reached out to touch your hand
Em Bm
And knocked the phone off the nightstand
F#m G
And the operator said, "May I help you please?"
Em F#m G
No thanks baby there's nothing you can really do for me
A D A G
I just had a bad dream, that's all that's wrong with me
A D A--G--A
I just had a bad dream.

D Em
Went out to loosen up the car
F#m
Some how I wound up at the rainbow bar
F#m/A Bm
I had a scotch and soda on the run
G
But, I didn't get too far.

D Em
And, then I ran down, down some friends I used to know
F#m
Dragged them out to see the show
F#m/A Bm
I drew myself a bath and I tried to read your book
G F#m
But you know baby this time it just didn't seem
Em A
quite worth the time it took.

Bm F#m G
And, I woke up crying in my sleep
F#m Bm Em A
I was talking to your pillow
Bm F#m G F#m
And I reached out to touch your hand
Em Bm
And knocked the phone off the nightstand
F#m G
And the operator said, "May I help you please?"
Em F#m G
No thanks baby there's nothing you can really do for me
A D A G
I just had a bad dream, that's all that's wrong with me
A D A G--A
I just had a bad dream, that's all that's wrong with me...

D A G A
Crying in my sleep
D A G A
Crying in my sleep (I woke up crying)
D A G A
Crying in my sleep (Crying trying to find her)
D A G A
Crying in my sleep (I woke up crying)
D A G A
Crying in my sleep (Crying trying to find her)
D A G A--D
Crying in my sleep...

(Fade)
