[Verse 1]
Cmaj7
Sweet dreams let me lay here down
 
Hold your breath don't make a sound
Amadd9
Baby, oh, say, can you sleep?
 
I've been getting pretty good at counting sheep
  Cmaj7                   Cmaj7-5
I am the very specimen of a sleepwalking gentleman
Am                     Am
If I die before I wake save my dreams for another day
 
 
[Chorus]
         F
'Cause tonight
         C             Am           F
I've got nothing on my mind but you
    C          Am                 F
Somewhere, somehow you'll feel it too
               C                 Am           F
Ooh, don't you take a bow at the last curtain call
                 N.C.
Thinking you're nobody's nothing after all
 
 
[Instrumental]
Am Am C Am
Am Am C Am
 
 
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7
Sweet dreams let me lay here down
 
Hope your feet don't touch the ground
Amadd9
It's getting late why can't I sleep
 
I've been getting pretty good at counting sheep
  Cmaj7
I am the very specimen of a sleepwalking gentleman
Am
If I die before I wake save my dreams for another day
 
 
[Chorus]
         F
'Cause tonight
         C             Am           F
I've got nothing on my mind but you
      C          Am               F
Somewhere, somehow you'll feel it too
               C                 Am           F
Ooh, don't you take a bow at the last curtain call
                N.C.
Thinking you're nobody's nothing after all
 
 
[Bridge]
Am                G#6
    Nothing after all
                                  Am
You're somebody's something after all
                G#6
Something after all
 
Dm Dm G G
 
 
[Chorus]
  F
Tonight!
         C             Am           F
I've got nothing on my mind but you
    C            Am               F
Somewhere, somehow you'll feel it too
               C                 Am           F
Ooh, don't you take a bow at the last curtain call
                N.C.
Thinking you're nobody's nothing after all
 
 
[Outro]
Amadd9
You're somebody's something after all
 
You're somebody's something after all

Great song, thanks for the tab!

Thanks for the tab, but can you post the way you play the irregular chords? The auto generated chord charts don’t seem right to me.
