Sleep Tonight - Tim McGraw
Album: Tim McGraw and the Dancehall Doctors
Writers: Angelo/Troy Verges/Hillary Lindsey

I tried to write it out with the easiest chords possible
but unfortunately you can't get away from the bar chords
in this one :o)


**Capo 2 for recorded key**


Intro:  B  E (x4)

B              D
Hey darkness, don't you try
   A                   E
To steal the moment or close my eyes
B        D      A   E
I won't let you in
      B                   D
Cause this feels too damn good to me
A               E
All I want and all I need
B        D     A         F#        B
Is her touch again and again and again


Chorus:
B
I don't wanna go to sleep tonight
F#
I don't want anything to change
G#m                        E
I don't wanna wake up and find a different day
B
Yeah she makes me free
F#                           G#m
Here between the day and the twilight
E
I don't want to go to sleep tonight

B  E

B              D
Time stop dead in your tracks
A               E
Turn around and don't look back
B         D     A   E
And just let us be
        B                  D
I wanna take this time and soak it up
A                    E
Forever wouldn't be long enough
B        D              A         F#        B
If you knew her you'd agree and agree with me


CHORUS


B  F#  G#m  E  (x2)


C#m                          E            B
I wish the sun would just forget, to come up
E                               Eb
And leave us wrapped up in this love


CHORUS
