Intro Em , Cmaj7, Em7  X2 
 
Em 
I dreamt I was in heaven 
 
and I was sitting in a bar 
    Cmaj7 
With all the other angels, 
          Em7 
you were smoking a cigar 
Em 
One hand on your hip 
 
and one foot on a chair 
      Cmaj7 
And a golden ostrich feather 
         Em7 
that was planted in your hair 
 
 Em, Cmaj7, Em7  X2 
 
        Em 
And if I really were an angel, 
 
I'd float over your bed 
     Cmaj7 
Each night a different dream of me 
    Em7 
I'd plant inside your head 
   Em 
And if I were an angel, 
 
I tell you what I'd do 
     Cmaj7 
I'd appear in a vision 
        Asus2 
and I'd give my wings to you 
 
(--3--2--Em)see note below      EmX2,Cmaj7,Asus2,EmX2,Cmaj7,Asus2

And I'd say "come closer 
C             D 
Fly into the light 
             G     G?         Em 
And please, please don't be stupid     (see note below) 
       G?       Csus2 
Let me sleep tonight 
     G     G?           Em 
And please don't be stupid 
       G?        Csus2 
Let me sleep tonight"

      let      me    sleep           tonight"     X2

Em 
I dreamt you were a genie 
 
and I found you in the sand 
              Cmaj7 
And you were trapped inside a bottle 
       Em7 
and I held you in my hand 
 
       Em 
And you said you'd grant me wishes 
 
if you were ever freed 
           Cmaj7 
I said "an empty head when I go to bed 
   Asus2 
is all I ever need" 
 
( bass string  -3-2-0)  Emx2,Cmaj7,Asus2,Emx2,Cmaj7,Asus2 
 
  Em 
So I, of course, released you, hoping you would keep your word 
        Cmaj7                           Em7 
And you laughed the cruellist laugh that I had ever heard 
        Em 
And you said "about these wishes, it's too late to decide" 
        Cmaj7                                 Asus2 
But I remembered that it was my dream... so I put you back inside 
 
 3-2-Emx2    3-2-0 Cmaj7  Asus2     X2    (see note above) 
 
  Em 
I dreamt I was a pirate 
 
aboard a pirate ship 
         Cmaj7 
And for a hand I had a hook 
          Em7 
and for a heart I had a whip 
              Em 
And you were trapped inside your bottle 
 
and I kept you down below 
         Cmaj7 
And you begged me to release you... 
     Asus2 
but I would not let you go 
 
 3-2- Em X2  Cmaj7, Asus2  X2 
 
     Em 
One night I was awoken 
 
while we were out at sea 
      Cmaj7 
By a floating appartion 
        Em7 
glowing incadescently 
    Em 
And I could see you clearly 
 
as all around was black 
         Cmaj7 
And you tore off both your wings, said 
         Asus2 
"Hey now you can have them back!"

Let me sleep tonight
