Counting Sheep

Acrylics


Tom: Am

C
I've been tossin' and turnin'
                        Em
Spent nights countin' sheep, my girl
     Am        F                   C
It's already mornin', I still can't sleep
C
And it's hot in my room
                    E
And I stuck to the sheets my girl
           Am              F            G
I'm soaked from my head, down to my feet


[Chorus]

 Em                            Am
But you're here, lyin' next to me
        F       C
And the melody surrounds you
                G
Encasing you in sound
Em                      Am
You're here, lyin' fast asleep
          F               C
While the sky that hangs above you
C
Has been shaken to the ground


[Verse]

      C
I was restless like crazy
                           Em
And I made my mistakes, my girl
             Am            F           C
I took every chance that I could take
C
I was runnin' around town
                                  Em
When I smashed on the ground, so hard
              Am             F               G
I got trouble believin' I'm still around


[Chorus]

       Em                      Am
As you would glide across the floor
F                   C
Can't deny it was graceful
                 G
And darling, you implode
    Em                     Am
If you had made it out the door
        F             C
You consider yourself grateful
           F                      C
But you don't even want to know
 C
And the sound'll save you


[Bridge]

 C
Ohhhhh, ohhhh
Am      F      C
Ohhhhh, ohhhh
 Em    Am       F     G
Go to sleep, my dear baby

[Chorus]

Em                         Am
You're here, lyin' down in bed
                 F           C
While the dog that loves you dearly
                      G
Has been taken to the pound

[Outro]

Em                             Am
You sleep face down, like your dead
            F                C
These lovin' arms will hold you
        F          C
Will only hold you down
