While You Were Sleeping

Intro

A   Bm   D   A


Verse 1

A            Bm
So far away.
         D                  A
From the place where I feel safe.
              Bm
And I cant recall,
    D              A
The beauty in your face.
F#m             D         A                E
The distance, between us, stores its dirty seeds.
F#m           D              A              E
Spreading inside of me, with every breath I breathe.

Chorus:

                     D 
While you were sleepin'
A                        D      A
I was wondering with the lonely people.
               D
While you were sleepin'
A                  E           A
Trying to fill the void you've left.
D                 E              F#m   
Life is short and the nights are long.
A   D          E    F#m
And tonight I moved on.
D              E
While you were sleepin'

Verse 2
A                  Bm
A stranger for the night,
     D             A
So I don't wake up alone (all alone)
A               Bm
To fake what we had, (to fake)
       D                 A
But it doesn't feel like home.
F#m            D
The distance between us,
A               E
Grows its dirty seeds.
F#m          D
Consuming my insides,
     A              E
With every breath I breathe.


               D 
While you were sleepin'

Trying to fill the void you've left.

Life is short and the nights are long.

And tonight I moved on.

Bm                   A
Don't look for me, don't wait for me.
  D         E
I found my path. (while you were sleeping)
Bm                      A
Over sticks and stones, over broken bones.
  D          E
I won't look back. (while you were sleeping)
Bm
There's a place for you,
A
Somewhere in my heart.
E              D
But that's the past,


               D
While you were sleepin'

I was wondering with the lonely people.

And tonight I moved on.
