Michelle Branch : Something to Sleep to
Transcribed by Jerry Sun

This is probably my favorite song on Spirit Room.
I tabbed it from her 20 dollar songbook, so it should be accurate to the recording.  Enjoy!

 -Verse 1 & 2-
          A                  A+
She's his yellow brick road, leading him on and
 F#m                 Dm                  A
letting him go as far as she lets him go.
          B7    D
Going down to nowhere

         A                  A+
She puts on her make-up the same way she did
F#m               Dm
yesterday, hoping everything's the same.
    B7                D      Dm
But everything has changed.

 -chorus-
      A     D                      F#m
In my mind, everything we did was right
          E                          A
Open your eyes I'll still be by your side
            D                   F#m
How could I ever have been so blind?
            B7                 D      A
You give me something to sleep to at night
 A+                        F#m   Dm
(something to sleep to at night)

 -Verse 3-
         A                   A+
He wakes up to the sound, So scared that she's leaving,
   F#m               Dm                   A
He wishes she were still asleep next to him
B7              D      Dm
Hoping she will change

 -chorus-
      A     D                      F#m
In my mind, everything we did was right
          E                          A
Open your eyes I'll still be by your side
            D                   F#m
How could I ever have been so blind?
            B7                 D
You give me something to sleep to at night

F#m            A+                    E
...you give me something to sleep to
             Ebdim
and all I know is
F#m            A+
...you give me something to sleep to
        E             Ebdim
and I'm all alone and blue
D                  Dm
...don't leave me now, don't leave me now

You give me something to sleep to, something to sleep to
   A
At night
