Intro: [C] [F] [C] [F] [C] [F] [Dm] [G]

There's so[C]methings you n[F]ever get [C]over[F]
Whate[C]ver your p[F]arents s[Dm]ay [G]
Fir[C]st on my l[F]ist of th[C]ese three th[F]ings
Is the si[Dm]ght of my father wa[F]lking away

N[C]ext on my [F]list would be [C]heave[F]n
I a[C]lready kn[F]ow what it's [Dm]like [G]
Cause [C]I fell in l[F]ove when [C]I was 1[F]6 with the [Dm]absolute love of my li[F]fe

La[C]st on my l[F]ist would be l[C]osing [F]
But so[C]meone a[F]lways needs to [Dm]win [G]
And thu[C]mbing your n[F]ose at the b[C]oss I sup[F]pose just f[Dm]eels like a beautiful th[F]ing

And it's som[F]ething that nobody te[G]lls you
You f[Am]igure it o[G]ut if you c[F]an [C]
Well there's o[C]ne thing on ea[F]rth that n[C]o one can to[F]uch
It's the sl[Am]eep of a sa[G]tisfied [F]man [C]
Yeah the sl[Am]eep of a sa[G]tisfied [F]man [C]

And I don[C]'t know why [F]I love th[C]e le[F]aving
But it's n[C]ot from lack [F]of lov[Dm]ing y[G]ou
Y[C]ou can't rem[F]ember when y[C]ou stopped bre[F]athing and [Dm]I can't remember it t[F]oo

B[C]ut I'm coming h[F]ome tom[C]orrow[F]
And [C]I wanted y[F]ou to k[Dm]now [G]
That the pa[C]rt of m[F]e that can m[C]ake you sm[F]ile is the s[Dm]ame part that needed to g[F]o

And it's som[F]ething that nobody te[G]lls you
You f[Am]igure it o[G]ut if you c[F]an [C]
Well they ca[C]n't inter[F]fere or g[C]et inside he[F]re
It's the sl[Am]eep of a sa[G]tisfied [F]man [C]
Yeah the sl[Am]eep of a sa[G]tisfied [F]man [C]

O[F]f all the things I've had to le[G]arn
One won't qu[Am]it
No mat[G]ter how [F]I t[C]ry
One won't qu[Am]it
It's a[G]ll that I can [F]stand[C]
One won't quit [Am]
I'll never le[G]arn to say good[F]bye [C]
But I h[F]ope for your sake that you c[G]an

And o[C]n April 2[F]nd the bi[C]rth of my he[F]art
The d[C]ay that the zom[F]bie aw[Dm]oke with a st[G]art
When [C]I fell for But[F]ton and sh[C]e fell for m[F]e
Ba[Dm]ck in the spring of 19[F]93
Jan[C]uary 7[F]th [C]200[F]5 the bi[C]rth of my bl[F]ood came ful[Dm]ly to li[G]fe
When [C]I see St. Pe[F]ter and a[C]sk for my wi[F]ngs
Just le[Dm]ave me that memory and the j[F]oy that it brings

It's some[F]thing that nobody te[G]lls you
You fi[Am]gure it o[G]ut if you c[F]an [C]
It's the thi[C]ngs that yo[F]u never get [C]over [F]
Build the ch[Am]aracter of a man [G]

And if he[F]aven and family and chi[G]ldren
Are wh[Am]at's left of m[G]e when I d[F]ie [C]
Then I ho[C]pe for your s[F]ake that you're be[C]tter than m[F]e at this lea[Am]rning to s[G]ay g[F]oodby[C]e

Yeah if he[F]aven and family and chi[G]ldren
Are what's le[Am]ft of the ra[G]ce that I r[F]an [C]
Then I'll qui[C]etly sl[F]ip to the slumb[C]ering pe[F]ace of the
sl[Am]eep of a s[G]atisfied[F] man [C]
Yeah the sl[Am]eep of a sat[G]isfied m[F]an[C]
Yeah the s[Am]leep of a sat[G]isfied m[F]an [C]

I'm satisfied
