D                          Em
  I took a walk around the yard
                               F#m
Dug the flowers til it got too hard
  F#m/A                   Bm
I smoked my first pack of cigarettes today
       G
And, I watched the children play.

                 D                          Em
And, then I went down, down to Lucy's old Cafe
                   F#m
Put a half a case away
  F#m/A                    Bm
I took a sleeping pill and tried to watch TV
             G                     F#m
But you know baby the leading lady looked 
         Em                           A
too much like you for the likes of me.


               Bm     F#m   G
And, I woke up crying in my sleep
      F#m     Bm         Em     A
I was talking    to your pillow
              Bm     F#m        G    F#m
And I reached out to touch your hand
                Em            Bm
And knocked the phone off the nightstand
        F#m                   G
And the operator said, "May I help you please?"
Em                     F#m                    G
No thanks baby there's nothing you can really do for me
  A              D             A                     G
I just had a bad dream, that's all that's wrong with me
  A              D     A--G--A
I just had a bad dream.


D                           Em
  Went out to loosen up the car
                                   F#m
Some how I wound up at the rainbow bar
  F#m/A            Bm
I had a scotch and soda on the run
       G
But, I didn't get too far.


                D                                 Em
And, then I ran down, down some friends I used to know
                            F#m
Dragged them out to see the show
  F#m/A                    Bm
I drew myself a bath and I tried to read your book
             G                 F#m              
But you know baby this time it just didn't seem 
                Em          A
quite worth the time it took.


               Bm     F#m   G
And, I woke up crying in my sleep
      F#m     Bm         Em     A
I was talking    to your pillow
              Bm     F#m        G    F#m
And I reached out to touch your hand
                Em            Bm
And knocked the phone off the nightstand
        F#m                   G
And the operator said, "May I help you please?"
Em                     F#m                    G
No thanks baby there's nothing you can really do for me
  A              D             A                     G
I just had a bad dream, that's all that's wrong with me
  A              D             A                     G--A
I just had a bad dream, that's all that's wrong with me...


D      A     G     A
Crying in my sleep
D      A     G     A
Crying in my sleep (I woke up crying)
D      A     G     A
Crying in my sleep (Crying trying to find her)
D      A     G     A
Crying in my sleep (I woke up crying)
D      A     G     A
Crying in my sleep (Crying trying to find her)
D      A     G     A--D
Crying in my sleep...
