I'm only sleeping

Lennon / McCartney – Beatles: Revolver (1966)

 

 


D#m                                        G#m

When I wake up early in the morning

F#          B      F#          A#7

Lift my head, I'm still yawning

 

D#m                                      G#m

When I'm in the middle of a dream

F#        B     F#          B

Stay in bed, float upstream (float upstream)

 

 F#                               G#m

Please don't wake me, no, don't shake me

A#m                     G#m                D#m

Leave me where I am, I'm only sleeping...

 

Everybody seems to think I'm lazy

I don't mind, I think they're crazy

 

Running everywhere at such a speed

'Til they find there's no need (there's no need)

 

Please don't spoil my day, I'm miles away

And after all I'm only sleeping...

  

 A#                                D#7                        G#m

Keeping an eye on the world going by my window,

 D#            G#m

Taking my time

 

Lying there and staring at the ceiling

Waiting for a sleepy feeling

 

Solo: D#m / G#m / F# B F# B / /

 

Please don't spoil my day, I'm miles away

And after all I'm only sleeping...

 

Keeping an eye on the world going by my window,

Taking my time

 

When I wake up early in the morning

Lift my head, I'm still yawning

 

When I'm in the middle of a dream

Stay in bed, float upstream (float upstream)

 

Please don't wake me, no, don't shake me

Leave me where I am, I'm only sleeping...

 

Voices:

    float upstream  (float upstream)

    there's no need (there's no need)
