You Sleep Alone

It's hard to understand Forrest sometimes, so the lyrics are a guess.  The song is
mainly barre chords and the chorus is played for the most part with strums on the
up beat.  This was tabbed mostly from the album version and poor quality videos
on youtube, so corrections are welcome.


Squealing Intro - E A Ab B

Main Intro - C# D A x2

Verse:
        C#           D
Oh dear love, such a chore,
                 A
Something you've got but you never show.
               C#           D
It's like some deed, left undone,
     A
or a reap you'll never sow.

              C#           D
It's like you never get it done.
         A
Like you never get it done.
          C#     D    A
Like you'll never get it done.


C# D A x2

             C#                  D
Where's your heart? Where's your head?
           A
Girl, your body's in my bed.
            C#         D    A
I know it's hard to forget, every word we've said.

                  C#           D
But it's like you never let it go.
         A
Like you never let it go.
          C#     D    A
Like you'll never let it go.


Chorus:
A                E           F#m                    C#m
  Oh, I know it's hard! Of a lover, I don't know just where you are.
          F#m                               C#m
I've been tryin' different ways to find your lover's heart,
F#m                        B
End up with your cold shoulder, Uh oh.
A             E                F#m                               C#m
  Oh, I am not crumbled in the thought that I might from what it's done to me.
         F#m                          C#m
It might never be the way we thought it ought to be.
F#m                 B
Lovers never sleep alone, Uh oh.

C# D A x2

Verse:
      C#          D
Oh my god, what a mess!
      A
Oh it is, I must confess.
             C#     D                   A
Every word I say to you, sweep from the floor, underneath the rug.

                 C#             D
Oh, it's like we never clean it up.
        A
Like we never clean it up.
         C#     D      A
Like we'll never clean it up.

Chorus:
A              E           F#m                    C#m
    I know it's hard! Of a lover, I don't know just where you are.
          F#m                               C#m
I've been tryin' different ways to find your lover's heart,
F#m                        B
End up with your cold shoulder, Uh oh.
A             E                F#m                               C#m
  Oh, I am not crumbled in the thought that I might from what it's done to me.
         F#m                          C#m
It might never be the way we thought it ought to be.
F#m                 B
Lovers never sleep alone, Uh oh.

Bridge:
C#          D      A
    And you sleep alone.
C#          D      A
    And you sleep alone.
C#          D      A
    And you sleep alone.
C#             D      A
    'Cause you sleep alone!

Chorus:

A                E           F#m                    C#m

  Oh, I am not crumbled in the thought that I might from what it's done to me.
         F#m                          C#m
It might never be the way we thought it ought to be.

Lovers never sleep alone, Uh oh.
