Before I Sleep

Gm


[Verse]
Gm                                         F
Burning, the roads through my mind are on fire
         G              F     Gm
For the light you shed was blinding
Gm                                     F
A rabbit, caught in your glow, I am frozen
         G               F        Gm
In the yielding tar, sticky and golden


[Instrumental]
Gm F C Gm


[Chorus]
Gm               F           Gm
I foresee this ending in a shower of flame
     G          C    F    Gm
So drink your holy water soon
          G        Gm     F
And I'll wash my loving hands
     Gm
I'm through
    C  F         Gm
For I am of the sun
      C             Gm
And this night is getting on
         G           F         G
When the dawn breaks warm I'm gone


[Verse]
Gm                                         F
Standing, at the edge of your forest, I'm standing
  G              F     Gm
And the milky bed reminds me of the miles I have yet to tread

Gm                             F               Gm
And the heart-stained sheets I used to wrap around my waist
        G         C       F          Gm
Well I hope you find the peace you seek
  G         C       F          Gm
Wake me up in five, six weeks
    C           Gm
For we exist at night
    C           Gm
And a silent strip of light
 G           F         G
Unfurls against the mountain side
