verse 1 
G 
Sleep is a rose 
           Bm                 B       C 
But I only hear the gale wind blowing cold 
Cm         G 
Against my windows 
G                                   Bm 
As I fold then I curl my leg around yours in a hold 
        C             Cm                  G 
I said, "darling, I'm scared of growing old" 
    Em           Bm 
I'm sorry if I'm loud 
    Em                       G 
I'm just worrying about that now 

Pre-Chorus 
G        C 
'Cause I lay here 
          Cm              G 
I'm still waiting for the sun 

             Am 
And you said sleep is a rose 
            C                          G    D 
But I wanna tell you it only brings me fear 
             Am 
And you said sleep is a rose 
            C                          G 
But I wanna tell you it only brings me fear 

verse 2 
G                      Bm 
I started to listen to every little sound 
       C        Cm                 G 
And so how am I supposed to forget silence? 
G                           Bm 
As I fold and I curl my own head around yours in a hold 
              C          Cm              G 
You said, "my love, I'll take you to the fairground" 
Em                Bm 
I know you're not around 
       Em                   Bm 
You're sleeping and talking now 

Pre-Chorus 
                     C 
And I'm still laying here 
     Cm              G 
Just waiting for the sun 

             Am 
And you said sleep is a rose 
            C                          G    D 
But I wanna tell you it only brings me fear 
             Am 
And you said sleep is a rose 
            C                          G 
But I wanna tell you it only brings me fear 

Bridge 
               Bm              C                      G    D 
And you said, "boy, you better know that you got this love" 
               Bm              C                      G    D 
And you said, "boy, you better know that you got this love" 

             Am 
And you said sleep is a rose 
            C                          G    D 
But I wanna tell you it only brings me fear 
             Am 
And you said sleep is a rose 
            C                          G 
But I wanna tell you it only brings me fear 

Outro 
     C    Cm                   G 
So I hope morning comes 'round soon
