Em  F#m  G  Asus4
(Intro)

D                          Em
  I took a walk around the yard
                               F#m
I dug the flowers ‘til it got too hard
  F#m/A                   Bm               Bm/A
I smoked my first pack of cigarettes today
                     Asus4
And I watched the dogs play

                D                          Em
And I went down, down to Lucy's old Cafe
                     F#m
I put a half a case away
  F#m                      Bm               Bm/A
I took a sleeping pill and I tried to watch TV
             Em                    F#m                      G                Asus4
But you know baby the leading lady looked too much like you for the likes of me

              D      F#m   G     Asus4
And I woke up crying in my sleep
      F#m     Bm         Asus4
I was talking    to your pillow
              Bm     F#m/A           G    F#m
And I reached out to touch your hand
                Em            Bm
And knocked the phone off the nightstand
        F#m             G      C
And the operator said, "May I help you please?"
             Em               F#m                          G
And I said, “No thanks, baby, tonight there’ll be no help for me you see
  Asus4          D             F#m                   G
I just had a bad dream, that's all that's wrong with me
  Asus4          D        Em    Asus4
I just had a bad dream

D                           Em
  Went out to loosen up the car
                                  F#m
Somehow I wound up at the Rainbow Bar
  F#m              Bm           Bm/A
I had a scotch and soda on the run
                    Asus4
But I didn't get too far

               D                                 Em
Then I, I ran down, down some friends I used to know
                            F#m
I dragged them out to see the show
  F#m/A                   Bm                    Bm/A
I ran myself a bath and I tried to read your book
             Em                   F#m                            G       Asus4
But you know, baby, this time it just didn't seem worth all the time it took

              D     F#m     G    Asus4
And I woke up crying in my sleep
      F#m     Bm         Em     Asus4
I was talking    to your pillow
              Bm     F#m/A            G    F#m
And I reached out to touch your hand
                Em            Bm
And knocked the phone off the nightstand
        F#m             G     C
And the operator said, "May I help you please?"
            Em                  F#m                           G
And I said, “No thanks, baby, tonight there’ll be no help for me you see
  Asus4          D
I just had a bad dream,

D                     Em     G     Asus4 (2 times)

D                     Em     G     Asus4
Duh, duh duh duh duh duh 
D                     Em     G     Asus4
Duh, duh duh duh duh duh 
Asus4     D           F#m   G
I woke up crying
Asus4              D            F#m     G
Crying trying to find you, baby
Asus4              D            F#m     G
Crying trying to find you, baby
Asus4              D
Crying trying to find you, baby
     F#m      G
Crying in my sleep
Asus4              D
Crying trying to find you, baby
     F#m      G
Crying in my sleep
Asus4              D
Crying trying to find you, baby
     F#m      G      Asus4 (repeat to fade)
Crying in my sleep
