Mother May I Sleep With Danger

Joy Crookes


Tom: Em

Em7

       Am7
Oh nah no no
       Cmaj7
Oh nah no no

B7

[Chorus]
Em7
Mother may I sleep with danger, please
          Am7
It's been knocking on my door since I was seventeen
   Cmaj7
Oh oh and you saw but you chose to ignore
B7
But now it's more than a wish it's a dream
    Em7
Now I don't understand how you can hold me back
         Am7
You said baby learn your lessons when you step on cracks
   Cmaj7
Oh there's no time to fall
     Cmaj7
Your existence would call
B7
And see experimenting


[Verse 1]
Em7                               Am7
And I guess there's just no other way
                         Cmaj7
I've been drawn to a new escape
                                                 B7
Cause I'm wearing bamboo and I'm picking up zoots
                     Em7
I've slipped away
                          Am7
Now I'm turning on a risen love
                               Cmaj7
And your sachi sealed a deal for us

[Verse 2]
                                           B7
Oh and dangers got me wrapped up round his thump
B7
It's not a trap
             Em7
Cause I'm in love
              Am7
I said I'm in love
              Cmaj7
I said I'm in love
         B7
Yeah Oh Oh

Em7

      G       Am7
I said I'm in love
              Cmaj7     B7
I said I'm in love (love)

[Chorus]
Em7
Mother may I sleep with danger, please
          Am7
It's been knocking on my door since I was seventeen
   Cmaj7
Oh oh and you saw but you choose to ignore
B7
But now it's more than a wish it's a dream
    Em
Now I don't understand how you can hold me back
Am7
You said baby learn your lessons when you step on cracks
Cmaj7
Oh no there's no time to fall
 B7             Em7
How you go oh
Am7  Cmaj7   B7
Ooh ooh ooh

[Outro]
Em7
So mother may I sleep with danger, please
          Am7
It's been knocking on my door since I was seventeen
Cmaj7                                   B7
Oh oh and you saw but you choose to ignore
         Em7
It's a dream
