Behind the Wall of Sleep

by Smithereens


             D5
She had hair like Jeannie Shipton back

F5
in 1965, She had

C5
legs the never ended, I was

D5
halfway paralyzed


              D5
She was tall and cool and pretty and she

F5
dressed as black as coal, If she'd

C5
ask me to I'd murder, I would

D5
gladly lose my soul


CHORUS:

F5                              D5
Now i lie in bed and think of her

F5                           D5
sometimes i even weep, then I

Bb5
dream of her, be-

C5                           D5
-hind the wall of sleep

Well she held a bass guitar and she was

playing in a band and she

stood just like Bill Wyman, now I

am her biggest fan


Now I know I'm one of many who would

like to be your friend and I've

got to find a way to let you

know I'm not like them


CHORUS:

F5                              D5
Now i lie in bed and think of her

F5                          D5
sometimes i even weep, then I

Bb5
dream of her, be-

C5                           D5
-hind the wall of sleep



Got your number from a friend of mine

who lives in your hometown, called you

up to have a drink, your roomate

said you weren't around


Now I know i'm one of many who would

like to be your friend and I've

got to find a way to let you

know I'm not like them


CHORUS:

F5                              D5
Now i lie in bed and think of her

F5                           D5
sometimes i even weep, then I

Bb5
dream of her, be-

C5                           D5
-hind the wall of sleep


behind the wall of sleep

behind the wall of sleep
