Em                        D       G
Maybe I could be the one they adore
            C    G        D
That could be my infatuation
Em                                          D       G
It's where I'm from that makes them think I'm a whore
        C      G      D
I'm an educated virgin

Em                       Am
Now sleepwalker don't be shy
D                G D/F#    Em
Don't open your eyes tonight
              Am
You'll be the one
D            
That defends my life, when I'm, dead asleep dreaming

(chorus)
C/G        G          D         Em
Now cupid don't draw back your bow
C/G        G           D        Em
Sam Cooke didn't know what I know
Em    D/F#  G      C/G
Never be your valentine
C                       C*                      C
The sleepwalker in me, god only knows I've tried

(intro) 

Let me in, let me drown, or let me swim
Just don't leave me at the window
I could be the one to be your next best friend
You may need someone to hold you

Sleepwalker take this knife
You may see someone tonight
You'd be the one who saved my life, when i'm, dead asleep dreaming

(chorus)

(bridge)

Bm           Bm7
I'm in your movie
     C              G
And everyone looks sad
Bm           Bm7           C                  G 
I can't hear you, your voice in the laugh track
                       Am
You never saw my best scene
     C                           D
When I sleep....sleepwalk into your dream

(intro x2)

Sleepwalker what's my life?
It's only a matter of time to die
Learn to open up my eyes when i'm, dead asleep dreaming

(chorus)
