Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 I'm desperate to know how you are, I hope you're deep asleep

I've been awake for days, trying to study every inch of you body

in this picture, from a distant day, when I could safely say

 nothing in this world could tear me down in any way

 but like a dream you disappeared, without a sound, without a trace

Chorus

Sleep well darling, wherever you are, i hope that you're happy tonight

 and maybe you found someone to love you right

sleep well darling, im desperate to say now i need you more than ever

 but all i could say was goodnight

Verse

This is for a girl back home, she tore down all my walls

loved me for all she had known, but I pushed it all away from me

 and no no, even if i knew, even if i knew what to say to you

 It's just too late to make you stay, I'm sick of fighting this broken fate

 will someone else get to tell you that you're beautiful

Chorus

Sleep well darling, wherever you are I hope that you're happy tonight

 and maybe you found someone to love you right

Sleep well darling, I'm desperate to say now i need you more that ever

 But all I could say was goodnight.

Bridge

 Its the last thing i want but its all that I've got

 Its the last thing i need but I still carry you in my heart

 In my heart

 Its the last thing i want but its all that ive got

 its the last thing i need but I still carry you in my heart

 In my heart.

Chorus

Sleep well darling, wherever you are I hope that you're happy tonight

 and maybe you found someone to love you right

Sleep well darling, I'm desperate to say that i need more than ever

 But all i could say was goodnight.
