8 Full Hours Of Sleep

Intro: C A5 F  2x

            C       A5
When you sleep,
F
No one is homeless.
           C        A5
When you sleep,
F
You can't feel the hunger.
           F
When you sleep,
         C            G
No one is lonely in a dream.

Without classes,
        F
Without nations...
           C      A5
When you sleep,
       F
She's standing there with open arms,
     C      A5                 F
And one night could last forever,

And if you asked her,
      C          G
She'd never let go...
                 F
And you'd stay forever...


        F
And the sun's always rising
       A5            G
In the sky somewhere,
                             F
And if young hearts should explode

From all the lies they've been told...
        C                   G
Let the new night bring you peace
                     F
And the promise of tomorrow,


             C A5 F
Where we can wake to a new beginning.
 C      A5     F
Tomorrow I'll all but have lost their faces;

My friends and family,
   C                  G
Memories of all we had
                             F
And the times we should have lived,
         C  A5        F
And tomorrow America just might fall apart.
C       A5
Tomorrow, tell me,
F
Where will you wake up?
                                        C
Beyond title, beyond these careers and laws,
          G                      F
Something more than borders on a map...


        F
And the sun's always rising
       A5           G
In the sky somewhere,
                             F
And if young hearts should explode

From all the lies they've been told...
   C                 G
To live through one night like this,
                          C
I would trade it for the silence...
