Sleep’s dark and silent gate – Jackson Browne (Album: The Pretender) Intro: |A E/G# |F#m C#m/E |D |A/E E |

Some^Atimes I lie a^E/G#wake at night and ^F#mwonder C#m/E D Where my life will lead me Waiting to pass ^A/Eunder Sleep's ^Edark and silent ^F#mgate ^A/G

^DI found my ^Elove too ^Alate ^DRunning 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

^EsusNever should have had to try so hard To make a ^Elove work out, I guess ^DI don't know what love has got to ^Edo with happiness But the ^F#mtimes when we were ^A/Ehappy F#m/D# D Were the times we never tried

^ASitting down by the highway ^A/C#Looking down the ^Droad

Waiting for a ride

I don't know ^Awhere I've been Wishing I could ^A/C#fly awa^Dy

Don't know where I'm going Wishing I could hide

^AOh God this ^A/C#is some ^Dshape I'm in When the ^A/Eonly thing that makes me cry Is the ^Ekindness in my baby's eye

Some^Atimes I lie ^E/G#awake at night and ^F#mwonder C#m/E D Where the years have gone They have all passed ^A/Eunder Sleep's ^Edark and silent ^F#mgate ^A/G ^D ^A
