Sleep All Summer by Crooked Fingers (from the album Dignity & Shame)
Intro: A E D E
A E D E
Weary sun, sleep tonight, go crashing into the ocean
A E D E
Cut the line that ties the tide and moon, ancient and blue
A E D E
We take our empty hearts and fill them up with broken things
A E D E
To hang on humming wire like cheap lamps down a dead end street
Bm E Bm E
(Close your weary eyes) But every time we turn away (until the wintertime) it surges like a tidal wave
A E D
I would change for you but, babe, that doesn't mean I'm gonna be a better man
A E D
Give the ocean what I took from you so one day you could find it in the sand
E
And hold it in your hands again
A E D E
Cold ways kill cool lovers, strange ways we use each other
A E D E
Why won't you fall back in love with me?
A E D E
There ain't no way we're gonna find another, the way we sleep all summer
A E D E
So why won't you fall back in love with me?
F#m E D A-->E
Combing over Broken Cross I held on you
F#m E D
Haunted by the ghost of something new
Intro part again: A E A E
A E D E
Curtains fall, fashions fade, an endless summer over
A E D E
Another tide to launch an autumn moon over the dunes
A E D E
There must be a better way to pull a whole apart To keep a world from caving in
A E D E
Another way to while away from you, frozen and blue
Bm E Bm E
(Close your weary eyes) But every time we turn away (until the wintertime) it surges like a tidal wave
A E D
I would change for you but, babe, that doesn't mean I'm gonna be a better man
A E D
Give the ocean what I took from you so one day you could find it in the sand
E
And hold it in your hands again
A E D E
Cold ways kill cool lovers, strange ways we use each other
A E D E
Why won't you fall back in love with me?
A E D E
There ain't no way we're gonna find another, the way we sleep all summer
A E D E
So why won't you fall back in love with me?
A E D E
So why won't you fall back in love with me?
A E D E
So why won't you fall back in love with me?
A E D E
So why won't you fall back in love with me?
A E D
So why won't you fall back in love with me?
