Tom : G
Intro: G C/G Cm/G G
G
While she lays sleeping
G7/B C
I stay out late at night and sing my songs
G/B Am7 D7 D/C Bm7
And sometimes all the nights can be so long
Em7 Am7
And it's good when I finally make it home
D4/7
All alone
D7 G
While she lays dreaming
G7/B C
I try to get undressed without the light
G/B Am7 D7 D/C Bm7
Then she quietly says how was your night
Em7 Am7
And I come to her and say it was all right -
D7 G
D4/7
And I hold her tight
Chorus
G4sus G
And she believes in me
