Chord Sleeper 1972 Acoustic by Manchester Orchestra

by candler english G G/F# D G G/F# Em when my dad died the worms ate out both his eyes . G G/F# Em G Bm A G his soul flew right up in the sky and i cried myself to sleep . G G/F# D G G/F# Em my mother lies alone on her back at night , G G/F# Em G Bm A G adding up hours till her demise , she counts herself to sleep . G G/F# D G G/F# Em when my sister finds my body closed up like the blinds , G G/F# Em G Bm A G i tell her i promise its fine , but she cries herself to sleep . G G/F# D G G/F# Em the men in black ties arrive at the house in surprise . G G/F# Em G Bm A G to find a little girl by your side in the wood box where you’re sleeping . G D Bm A G i still see you inside of this god - awful house Bm A G you move awfully quiet now G D Bm A G and i still feel you everywhere G G/F# D you told me this has always been worth living , D G Bm A G but what’s really worth living anymore? outro : Bm A G
