Intro
[A] [E] [D] [A] [B7] [E]
Verse 1
[E]Sleep don’t always come easy
[A]Especially when you want it to
[D]Even when you know you need it
There’s[B7] not a lot you can [E]do
Verse 2
There’s [E]lots of little tricks to try
Pharma[A]ceuticals by the dozen
But [D]tricks and drugs can’t always mask
What [B7]sets your brains a [E]buzzing
Chorus
[A]Turn off your work unfinished
[E]Turn off your worries and woes
[D]Set aside all the world’s [A]issues
Just [B7]yawn and stretch out your [E]toes
Verse 3
[E]How about thinking of puffy clouds
Or a [A]cool breeze in your hair
[D]Think of whatever set you mind at ease
And will [B7]leave you without a [E]care
Verse 4
Or [E]if you have a place that you
Like to [A]visit when you have the time
[D]Picture that place in your mind’s eye
And [B7]soon you’ll be sleeping [E]fine
Chorus
[A]Turn off your work unfinished
[E]Turn off your worries and woes
[D]Set aside all the world’s [A]issues
Just [B7]yawn and stretch out your [E]toes
Verse 5
I [E]think I’ll now take my own advice
So [A]let’s say I give it a try
I’ll [D]turn off this box and go brush my teeth
So for [B7]now it’s good night and good[E]bye
Verse 6
So [E]just like on The Waltons
It’s [A]good night to one and all
So [D]go dream creative dreams
And hope [B7]tomorrow you can re[E]call
Chorus
[A]Turn off your work unfinished
[E]Turn off your worries and woes
[D]Set aside all the world’s [A]issues
Just [B7]yawn and stretch out your [E]toes
Ending Chorus
[A]Let that unfinished work alone
[E]Forget about it for the night
Not a [D]lot you can do without a [A]goodnight sleep
So [B7]off to bed ...sleep [A]tight[E]
