Sleep At Night Lyrics & Tabs by Eric Stewart
Sleep At Night
guitar chords lyrics
I used to get angry, I used to get mad,
I lost my direction, my karma was bad.
While looking for glory, I found the pretence,
All mounting to nothing, the years I spent
Trying to understand, the things that cut me so deep.
I tried to make sense of all your sad little games,
But the deeper I got, I found more of the same.
But I will sleep at night, sleep at night, sleep at night, oh yeah, I'll sleep tonight, sleep tonight, sleep tonight.
I had to look deeper, I needed the key,
The whys and the wherefores, should I let it be?
The clues were so hidden, but under the smile, something was broken, it wasn't your style.
You were losing the plot, the train departed long ago.
The pack were behind you, they were hungry for food,
But I couldn't desert you, you were standing in the nude.
But I will sleep at night, sleep at night, sleep at night, oh yeah, I'll sleep tonight, sleep tonight, sleep tonight.
The pack were behind you, they were hungry for food,
But I couldn't desert you, you were standing in the nude.
But I will sleep at night, sleep at night, sleep at night, oh yeah, I'll sleep tonight, sleep tonight, sleep tonight.
It wasn't for money, it don't make things right,
It wasn't for kudos, I hated the limelight.
I was shaking with anger, I couldn't take more,
So I walked away softly, and closed that door.
Don't wanna hold your hand, I moved away from the brink,
I won't be going that way again, I don't need the torment, the lies and the pain.
I wanna sleep at night, sleep at night, sleep at night, oh yeah, I'll sleep tonight, sleep tonight, sleep tonight.
I looked at your forecast, the outlook was bleak.
You put your foot in it each time you speak.
The porkies get bigger, they grow and they grow,
The reaper is smiling, he knows what you've sown.
Take another look, the cracks are starting to show.
You can't fool the people if you spread it so thin,
They'll see through your pseudo, and they'll make you jack it in.
But I will sleep tonight, sleep tonight, sleep tonight oh yeah, I'll sleep tonight, sleep tonight, sleep tonight.
I will sleep at night, sleep at night, sleep at night, oh yeah, I'll sleep.
