Sleep’s dark and silent gate – Jackson Browne (Album: The Pretender)
Intro:
|A E/G# |F#m C#m/E |D |A/E E |
A E/G# F#m
Sometimes I lie awake at night and wonder
C#m/E D
Where my life will lead me
A/E E F#m A/G
Waiting to pass under Sleep's dark and silent gate
D E A
I found my love too late
D
Running around day after day
A/C# C#7/F
Looking for the time to play
F#m F#m/E F#m/D#
While my old friends slipped away
Esus
Never should have had to try so hard
E
To make a love work out, I guess
D E
I don't know what love has got to do with happiness
F#m A/E
But the times when we were happy
F#m/D# D
Were the times we never tried
A
Sitting down by the highway
A/C# D
Looking down the road
Waiting for a ride
A
I don't know where I've been
A/C# D
Wishing I could fly away
Don't know where I'm going
Wishing I could hide
A A/C# D
Oh God this is some shape I'm in
A/E
When the only thing that makes me cry
E
Is the kindness in my baby's eye
A E/G# F#m
Sometimes I lie awake at night and wonder
C#m/E D
Where the years have gone
A/E
They have all passed under
E F#m A/G D A
Sleep's dark and silent gate
