Sleepless Chords & Lyrics - Decemberists

[Dm] As [C]you lie before me[Fmaj/C] now, like a s[Dm]hadow
[Dm] on a [Fmaj/C]pea green [C]sea [Dm]

Never t[Fmaj/C]hought that I could find you so [Dm]hollow
Laying [C]into [Dm]me

[F] But this cup of wine [E]
All salt and brine makes me [Am]sleepy [G]
A sorrow [D]so
[F] A field of tears,[E] that will never yield a sin[Am]gle penny [G]
But I don't [D]know [F]
I've got nothing to [E]hold [Am]on to

[Dm] Wished for [C]gold so I could [Fmaj/C]buy you a pa[Dm]lace
By the r[C]ivers[Dm]ide
You'd c[Fmaj/C]ome in and I would fill your diamond cha[Dm]lice
You were [C]still al[Dm]ive

[F] But this cup of wine [E]
All salt and brine makes me [Am]sleepy [G]
A sorrow [D]so
[F] A field of tears,[E] that will never yield a [Am]single penny [G]
But I don't [D]know
[F] I've got nothing [E]to h[Am]old on t[G]o [D]
[F] I've got nothing to [E]hold [Am]on to
