I Go To Sleep

(original Kinks' version)

Words & Music:

Ray Davies

 

A   C   A

 

C                       C/B                    Am   G     Am

When I look up from my pillow I dream you are there with me.

C                      C/B                      Am   G  Am

Though you are far away I know you'll always be near to me.

           Em    Bm       Am                        G    Am

I go to sleep, sleep, and imagine that you're there with me.

Em     Bm                  Am                       G    Am

I go to sleep, sleep, and imagine that you're there with me.

 

I look around me and feel you are ever so close to me.

Each tear that flows from my eyes brings back memories of you to me.

I go to sleep, sleep, and imagine that you're there with me.

I go to sleep, sleep, and imagine that you're there with me.

 

BRIDGE:

G#                                               D#

I was wrong, I will cry, I will love you to the day I die.

                                G#     G#   A#    G#  G    

You alone, you alone and no one else, were meant for me.

 

When morning comes once more I have the loneliness you left me.

Each day drags by until finally night time descends on me.

I go to sleep, sleep, and imagine that you're there with me.

I go to sleep, sleep, and imagine that you're there with me.
