[D] So, so [C] long ago, [G] so far [D] away
Time [C] was just a line that you [G] fade, knew when you wanted to [D] stay
We [C] talk as soft as chalk, till [G] morning came, it [D] is a pearl
No [C]
time now, I [G] have got all the time in the [D]
world
Say honey, [Bb] did you belong to me?
[Eb] Tell me honey, was [D] your heart in [F] dollars?
[C] Were howling was [Bb] the song of love?
So [Dm] God, I feel [C] [Dm] lawlessness, lawlessness
[D] Say honey, [Bb] did you belong to me?
[Eb] Tell me honey, did you [D] trust your test?
Or [F] lay as still as dead [C] till the dawn?
Were you found [Bb] arrested from your [Dm] guard?
Oh, I feel [C]
[Dm] lawlessness, lawlessness
[D] A Roman [C] on the tidy ground, on the [G] level of the [D] sanatorium
[C] The clouds are driftin' and [G] all the pines have [D] gone
In the light of the pines, [C] grassy times, [G] lays over me the [D] mesmerizing sun
[C] Time passes and [G] so my heart will come
[D] Still you're leaning [Bb] out back with quick [Eb] joy
Your heart marking [D] the soonest darkness [F] to
Still the nerves [C] will suffer [Bb]
love never [Dm] danding
[C] Lawlessness, [Dm] lawlessness
[Am] [D] Pulled over and over, be [Bb] rusted down, lay around [Eb] trying to sound [D] out [F] of sleep
Like soldiers [C] when there is [Bb] no treason, well there [Dm] is only lawlessness
In [C]

[Eb] the last week, the last year, [G] I was aware
[Db] Took a blind shot [G] across [Db] the creek at [Ab] the black bear
Well [Eb] he roused me in the night and left me [Db] cowering with my light calling out
Who
[Ab] is [F] there?

[C] [Eb] I watched asleep
[Gm] in my bed, [Db]
love a little shove and it [Ab] becomes terror

Well I [G] [F] like the character God bearing [G] down upon my [D] house's lawn
I knew a little bit [C] of your rhythms [G] are a melody to [D] love God
Sweetheart [C] in your clean bright star [G] back hair behind the head in [D] a dowl
Oh sleep, long night till [C] I see you, yes [G] I'll be thinking and be wishing [D] you well
I
[C] spend [G] but I wait for the [D] sound of the bell
[C] Can't find [G] my bed so I let the [D] carousel
I will [C] sleep when the [D] day is done, [C] I [G] am alone, lonely [Dm] [G] day
[D] [G]
[D] [G] [Bm] [G] Sleep, long and done
[D]
