While You Sleep

Tracy Lawrence


Tom: C#m

    E             Ab              C#m         E
I don't say I love, you quite enough I know
            A                F#m        B
Sometimes I go for days, I'm ashamed to say
E                  Ab            C#m           E
The world moves so fast, and the words come soslow
    A           B                 E  Ab
And I let those excuses get in my way

[Chorus]
Ab            C#m        B          A
But while you sleep sometimes I lie awake and watch
    E              C#m          A
you breath, In the silence that surrounds the dead
   E      C#m                B
of night, Bear my soul that all the words sound
A                 E        F#m       A     B
right, I pray the lord our hearts to keep, while
    E
you sleep.

[Verse 2]
E           Ab          C#m              E
Day's march through our lives like a sad parade
    A                       F#m           B
Our laughter and tears, our hopes and fears
    E      Ab                   C#m       E
And I keep remembering things I forget to say
    A                  B               E
And perhaps someday, I let you know my dear...that

[Chorus]
Ab            C#m        B          A
But while you sleep sometimes I lie awake and watch
    E              C#m          A
you breath, In the silence that surrounds the dead
   E      C#m                B
of night, Bear my soul that all the words sound
A                 E        F#m       A     B
right, I pray the lord our hearts to keep, while
    E
you sleep.
