Intro: Em  C  Em  D  Em 



Em 
I wonder, can you daydream at night? 
C                     D 
Lying awake, I've had too much time. 
Em 
I'm watching picture shows in the shadows 
                      C 
Dance for the crowd tonight. 
     D                               C 
Imagination is such a vivid place to hide,  
                  D 
While stars watch over you. 


               Em 
Through silent homes 
                         D 
The lights are out but I walk these halls, 
                      C 
The way I've walked before, 
               D                                  Em 
Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls. 
                         D 
The lights are out but I walk these halls, 
C                                        D                      Em 
I promised not to wake you, so I'll walk light, just so you can hear, 


                                         C 
The rats in the roof and termites in the ceiling. 
           D                                 Em 
We'll hear everything except what we need to hear. 
                                       C 
Sleeplessness is for the restless, and I'm just fine, 
        D                    C              D 
Left to wander, aimless in unconsciousness. 


Em              D                               C 
There's spiders crawling from the corners of my eyes. 
                            D                                    Em 
Let them weave their little webs to snatch the sunlight from the lens. 
                   D                                  C 
I'm staring at the ceiling 'cause I'm fed up with the sight. 
                         D                              C 
Weigh my eyelids back to sleep, sealed by silken silver threads, 
                  D 
While stars watch over you. 


               Em 
Through silent homes 
                         D 
The lights are out but I walk these halls, 
                      C 
The way I've walked before, 
               D                                  Em 
Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls. 
                         D 
The lights are out but I walk these halls, 
C                          D 
Cast the sheep out of your mind, 
                                   Em 
Count the wolves and we'll sleep tonight. 


Em                          D                         C 
I stumble in and I stumble out of unfamiliar rooms in foreign houses, 
    D 
But I'm at home,  
Em                          D 
Now a ghost that has left behind his sheets, 
              C     D                                        C 
Unrequited, until I wake up somewhere I know that I've never been. 
               D                Em 
I'll stay 'til sleep takes over you. 
               D                C 
I'll stay 'til sleep takes over you. 
                    D                Em 
And I'll walk while stars watch over you. 
                    D                C 
And I'll walk while stars watch over you. 



               Em 
Through silent homes 
                         D 
The lights are out but I walk these halls, 
                      C 
The way I've walked before, 
               D                                  Em 
Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls. 
                         D 
The lights are out but I walk these halls, 
                      C 
The way I've walked before, 
               D                                  Em 
Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls. 
                        D 
The lights are out but I walk these halls, 
C                          D 
Cast the sheep out of your mind, 
                                   C 
Count the wolves and we'll sleep tonight.
