Sleep On It

Tom: Am

               Dm9            G
Girl I’ve been missing this
            Em7          Am7
You made it very clear
               Dm9                  G
That I’ve done something wrong
             Em7                      Am7
I’m just not sure what it might have been
                Dm9          G
Every second we spend
            Em7                Am7
Just going around and around again
               Dm9             G
Will it make a difference
         Em7               Am7
Or am I somewhere in the dark
           Dm9             G
You know I wanna make it right
            Em7                  Am7
Willing to talk if it takes all night
           Dm9             G
Maybe it’s better if we try
           Em7              Am7
To settle down in a leaded lie

[Chorus]
              Dm9          G
Why don’t we sleep on it
                Em7          Am7
Everything will be alright
             Dm9           G
Girl I don’t wanna fight
              Em7          Am7
Why don’t we sleep on it tonight
              Dm9           G
Why don’t we sleep on it
              Em7            Am7
Cuddle up and make it right
               Dm9            G
Why don’t you dim the light
               Em7           Am7
And we’ll just sleep on it tonight

[Post-Chorus]

[Verse 2]
            Dm9          G
I know it’s down to me
                Em7          Am7
It’s my responsibility
                 Dm9          G
I just want your happiness
             Em7              Am7
If I’ve done wrong, then I confess
            Dm9            G
But there’s nothing lost
                  Em7            Am7
And I would never count the cost
            Dm9          G
Tomorrows another day
              Em7             Am7
I think we’ve said all we can say

[Chorus 2]
              Dm9          G
Why don’t we sleep on it
               Em7          Am7
I don’t really wanna fight
              Dm9            G
Why don’t we dim the light
         Em7            Am7
And just sleep on it tonight

             Dm9           G
Why don’t we sleep on it
              Em7            Am7
Cuddle up and make it right
                Dm9           G
Everything will be alright
       Em7           Am7
If we sleep on it tonight

[Bridge]
Bbmaj7                  Gm7            Cmaj7      Cmaj7
       No matter what you think about me
Bbmaj7              Gm7                   Cmaj7      Cmaj7
      I’ll still be here when the morning comes

[Instrumental]
| Dm9   | G     | Em7   | Am7   | x2

[Chorus 3]
             Dm9            G
Why don’t we sleep on it
             Em7            Am7
Baby I don’t want to fight
               Dm9             G
Why don’t you dim the light
            Em7            Am7
Can we just sleep on it tonight
