Capo 1st Fret [Verse] C Am May you find solace in the gentle arms of sleep G F Despite the wolves outside your door C Am In time you will see them all as harmless G F And their idle threats easy to ignore C Am And if ever fate should choose to smite you C Am Stand your ground, never walk away C Am Please don't ever let the world defeat you C Am Don't get buried in its decay C Am As you drift into the gauzy realm of dreams G F May you take comfort in the thought that you are safe C Am For it only takes a fraction of a second G F For all of this to change [Chorus] F Am Return to me C G When slumber's fog has lifted F Am Return to me C G Stronger than before [Verse] C Am As you sink beneath the soothing streams of time G F May you be thankful that you had another day C Am For there comes a time when each of us will enter G F A sleep from which we will never wake C Am And if ever fate should choose to smite you C Am Stand your ground, never walk away C Am Please don't ever let the world defeat you C Am Don't get buried in its decay C Am Close your eyes now, if only for a moment G F For it's time you get some rest C Am The wolves are gone and nothing here can harm you G F Let go of your fragile consciousness [Chorus] F Am Return to me C G When slumber's fog has lifted F Am Return to me C G Stronger than before
