Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

 I couldn't sleep last night

 I laid awake and wished you were here

 I wished that I had more time to make more mistakes

 I'd make them louder and clearer

Chorus

I couldn't sleep last night

It wasn't for my lack of trying

I just couldn't sleep last night___

 Not a light was on

 While I held this song in mind of you

 And what you do, what you do to me

Verse

I even followed the rules

 I closed my eyes I didn't move

 If I was only stronger I wish that I was stronger here

Referring to my heartsong dear

 Cause this day will be the longest of the year

Chorus

I couldn't sleep last night

I just couldn't get it right

I just couldn't sleep last night___

 By the light of day may my dreams be waiting

Bridge

 In time

 In due time

 I will rest my thoughts of you

Solo

Could I be more lucky than I've grown to be just knowing that I know her

 Why shouldn't I show her all the wise of getting older

Could she be more perfect in perfection her reflection is casting

 Well that's the last thing I'm ever asking

Chorus

I couldn't sleep last night

I just couldn't get it right

I just couldn't sleep last night___

Outro

 This is the longest day of the year
