Humans can be the cutest of animals sometimes and I walk out the hospital cursing cars
D                    A                Bm   (A)   G     A     D
because all this turnover makes me so tired.
                A                                        Bm         (A)    G

your tired weak eyes.

G                A               D
newsprint - like cities fell in stacks
                    A                       Bm            (A)   G      A

Goodnight, little sweet. (Goodnight, little sweet)
                 A                          G
I'll sing you to sleep. (Watch everything recede)
   A     D
La la la laa
                  Bm
Goodnight, little sweet. (Goodnight, little sweet)
                   A                       G
Watch everything recede. (I'll sing you to sleep)

La la la laa.
