Sleep

By: Matt

Every tab I've ever seen for this song has been inaccurate.

This may not be completely right, but it sounds right to me.

Bear with me, because this is my first tab. Hope you enjoy!

Sleep

Written by Jon Oliva, Criss Oliva, Paul O'Neill

Intro

Verse One:

Hey there you

Way out there in the distance

Can you hear me

Are you there

I know it's late

So please forgive my persistence

But I'm hanging

Do you care

Chorus:

So lay back

Call off the attack

Cause if you look deep

Dreams are nothing that I lack

And all I seek

A final chance to speak

And I would let the whole thing keep

If I could just sleep

Verse 2:

Hey there you

Way out there could you show me

Just a signal

Or a sign

That after all

All these years that you've known me

And I'm not just killing time

(Chorus)

Bridge:

As I lay there late at night

Building castles in the air

Out of alibis and all those little lies

And then I look inside

And pray that I don't care

I don't care

I don't care

Outro:

Hey there you way out there in the distance...

Well, there it is, a great song, and my first tabe ever! hope you like it!
