The instrumental needs work!

Go to sleep
             A     A
At least lie here awhile
G       G             D9        A
Best to look straight through your eyelids
D9    D9  A      A
Count or listen to the voices
G            G       D9       A (-)
But don't go out and down to the landing

Give it time enough
A              A
I'll check the clock
    G         G       D9   A
And you'll be still until I leave
     D9 D9   A   A
The living room is on
               G          G
and lights are blaring
D9     D9
With the TV

And you say
D9        (-)     A            A
Clap once for me and I'll know
D9  D9         A         A
I'l be watching on my pillow
D9           D9         A    A
Clap twice I'll see what you mean

It was one for the other team

Go to sleep or at least keep the light off
     G      G       D9       A
I'll see it shining through the cracks
D9   D9           A
You may be missing some things
   A                G
But if you leave it open

Some of them might come back
