Verse 1
~~~~~~~
Em                            G                    C       C/B   D  
Maybe I could be the one they adore, that could be my reputation      
Em                                             G
It's where I'm from that lets them think I'm a whore
       C        C/B   D
I'm an educated virgin 
Em           Am           D                 G  G/F#    Em 
Sleepwalker don't be shy, don't open you're eyes tonight
Em            Am                 D                 
You'll be the one who defends my life, when I'm dead asleep dreaming... 

Chorus
~~~~~~
C     G          D         Em 
Cupid don't draw back your bow (clap, clap) 
G               D          Em    
Sam Cook didn't know what I know... 
C     G       D    Em             C 
Never be your valentine, the sleepwalker in me...  
D                     Em 
God only knows that I tried...

Verse 2
~~~~~~~
Em                                          G
Now let me in, let me drown or learn how to swim
           C               C/B    D
Just don't leave me at the window
Em                                                    G
I could be the one to be the one to be your next best friend
        C               C/B     D
You may need someone to hold you
Em               Am               D               G     G/F#  Em 
Now, Sleepwalker take this knife, you may see someone tonight
Em            Am                D      
You'll be the one that saves my life, when I'm dead asleep dreaming...

[Repeat Chorus]

Bridge
~~~~~~
D                     C              G   G/F# 
I'm in your movie and everyone looks sad 
D                     C              G
I can hear you, you're voice, well I tried
G                         Am     C               Am
But you never saw my best scene, the one where I sleep, 
               D          Em
Sleepwalk into your dreams

Verse 3
~~~~~~~
Em                          G                 C              C/B      
Now, Sleepwalker, what's my line, it's only a matter of time until I 
Em                  Am    D
Learn to open up my eyes, when I'm dead asleep dreaming

[Repeat Chorus]
