 NOTE: Whenever I list Am in the chords, you're actually playing this riff.
Slumber  blind I speak  my mind
 When I'm  out cold or so  I'm told
 And so  I'm scared to rest  my head in company
 VERSE 2 is the same with an extra line:
So  peacefully
And  I'm just looking  for the person
 Who will smile  at all my questions
 Who will tell  me I'm just tired,  and then send me
 Back to sleep
 Back to sleep
 For the F chords, just pick odd notes around the chords, ocassionally
 switching to an Fmaj7 (ie xx3210). Easy to pick up from the song.
 You stole the covers  in the night
 You turned away,  turned out the light,
 But it's OK  because I'm already miles away.
 REPEAT CHORUS with different last line:
 Back to sleep
