[Verse]
D     A   Em
While you sleep
Bm7              G
Coiled up like a spring
    Bm7         G     D              A  Asus4  A
I remember everything from the first day
D   A  Em
Summer flowers
Bm7                 G
Shimmering down the street
        Bm7             G    D      A      Asus4  A
Plastic sandals on your feet in the doorway
    C         D
You looked so hungry
    C              D
You couldn’t stand still
         C                 D            A
You made everything in the flat look so cheap
   F#m       Em
I showed you round
   D               G
Forgetting when to breathe
           F#m             Em
And that's still the way I feel
       C         G         D
When I watch you while you sleep

[Interlude]
(repeat intro parts twice)
D

[Verse]
D     A   Em
While you sleep
Bm7                   G
The Earth revolves in space
Bm7                   G       D      A     Asus4  A
Ships and planes they race towards tomorrow
    D    A   Em
You took the room
    Bm7           G
And pretty soon I knew
    Bm7                  G        D      A     Asus4  A
That we all would fly to you like little arrows
C     D
Fancy dressers
C     D
Queens and jesters
C        D            A
Throwing glances your way
F#m    Em
In the street
D             G
Never worries me
              F#m              Em    C       G         D
Cause I’m the one that gets to be beside you while you sleep

[Bridge]
          Bm7         F#m      Em   F#m
Once on a still, grey motorway day
              D        A          G  Bm7  G  E
We jumped the green fence and we lay
E
Watching all the expensive people speeding away

[Solo]
(Lead Guitar has no capo here to reach low note)

[Verse]
C               D
Just before the sun’s up
C             D
The wallpaper lights up
     C      D              A
And another car climbs the hill
F#m       Em
They will keep
         D            G
Whatever plans they’ve made
             D            G
They’ll wait for another day
            F#m                  Em
When I will tell you things that now
       C        G         D
I only tell you while you sleep
