You Can Sleep While I Drive
(Melissa Etheridge)
C Dm Dsus2 C Cmaj7
Come on, baby, let's get out of this town.
Dm Dsus2 C Cmaj7
I got a full tank of gas, with the top rolled down.
Bb Am Fmaj7
There`s a chill in my bones, I don't want to be left a – lone.
Bb Fmaj7 C Cmaj7 Cmaj7
So, baby, you can sleep while I drive.
C Dm Dsus2 C Cmaj7
I'll pack my bag and load up my gui – tar.
Dm Dsus2 C Cmaj7
In my pocket, I'll carry my harp.
Bb Am Fmaj7
I got some money, I've saved. Enough to get under – way.
Bb Fmaj7 C Cmaj7 Cmaj7
And, baby, you can sleep while I drive.
C Dm Dsus2 C Cmaj7
We'll go through Tucson up to Santa Fe.
Dm Dsus2 C Cmaj7
And Barb'ra, in Nashville, says we're welcome to stay.
Bb Am Fmaj7
I'll buy you glasses in Texas, a hat from New Or - leans
Bb Fmaj7 C Cmaj7 Cmaj7
and in the morning, you can tell me your dreams.
Cmaj7 G6 Fmaj7 C
You know, I've seen it before, this mist that covers your eyes.
G6 Fmaj7 C
You've been looking for something, that's not in your life.
Bb Am Fmaj7
My in - tentions are true, won't you take me with you?
Bb Fmaj7 C Cmaj7
And, baby, you can sleep while I drive.

lover, you're free, can't you get that from me?
Dm Dsus2 C Cmaj7
Come on, baby, let's get out of this town.
Dm Dsus2 C Cmaj7
I got a full tank of gas, with the top rolled down.
Bb Am Fmaj7
If you won't take me with you, I'll go be - fore night is through.
Bb Fmaj7 C
And, baby, you can sleep while I drive.
