Sleep’s dark and silent gate – Jackson Browne   (Album: The Pretender)


Intro:
|A    E/G#   |F#m    C#m/E    |D       |A/E    E      |


    A            E/G#              F#m      
Sometimes I lie awake at night and wonder
C#m/E              D
Where my life will lead me
                A/E           E               F#m    A/G
Waiting to pass under Sleep's dark and silent gate


D          E        A
I found my love too late
D              
Running around day after day
A/C#            C#7/F
Looking for the time to play
         F#m         F#m/E     F#m/D#
While my old friends slipped away


Esus
Never should have had to try so hard
          E
To make a love work out, I guess
D                                 E
I don't know what love has got to do with happiness
        F#m                A/E
But the times when we were happy
         F#m/D#            D
Were the times we never tried


A
Sitting down by the highway
A/C#             D
Looking down the road

Waiting for a ride
             A
I don't know where I've been
                A/C#   D
Wishing I could fly away

Don't know where I'm going

Wishing I could hide
A           A/C#    D
Oh God this is some shape I'm in
         A/E
When the only thing that makes me cry
       E
Is the kindness in my baby's eye


    A           E/G#               F#m
Sometimes I lie awake at night and wonder
C#m/E                D
Where the years have gone
                     A/E
They have all passed under
        E               F#m      A/G     D      A
Sleep's dark and silent gate
