{title: Tired of Sleeping}
{subtitle:Suzanne Vega}

[G][Am][C][F][G]

{c:1.}
[Em]Oh Mom, the [Am]dreams are not so bad
It's [A]just that there's so much [Am]to do
And I'm tired of [Em]sleeping

{c:2.}
Oh Mom, the old man is telling me something
His eyes are wide and his mouth is thin
And I just can't hear what he's saying

{start_of_chorus: R.}
|: [G]Oh Mom, I [Am]wonder when I'll be waking
It's [C]just that there's so much to [F]do
And I'm tired of [G]sleeping :|
{end_of_chorus}

{c:3.}
Oh Mom, the kids are playing in pennies
They're up to their knees in money
And the dirt of the churchyard steps

{c:4.}
Oh Mom, that man he ripped out his lining
He tore out a piece of his body
To show us his „clean quilted heart“

{start_of_chorus: R.}
Oh Mom, I wonder…
{end_of_chorus}

{c:Bridge:}
|:[E][A] :|(4x)

{c:5.}
Oh Mom, the bird on the string is hanging
Her bones are twisting and dancing
She's fighting for her small life

{start_of_chorus: R.}
|: Oh Mom, I wonder… :|(3x)
{end_of_chorus}
