Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

I couldn't sleep last night

I laid awake and wished you were here

I wished that I had more time to make more mistakes

I'd make them louder and clearer

Chorus

I couldn't sleep last night

It wasn't for my lack of trying

I just couldn't sleep last night___

Not a light was on

While I held this song in mind of you

And what you do, what you do to me

Verse

I even followed the rules

I closed my eyes I didn't move

If I was only stronger I wish that I was stronger here

Referring to my heartsong dear

Cause this day will be the longest of the year

Chorus

I couldn't sleep last night

I just couldn't get it right

I just couldn't sleep last night___

By the light of day may my dreams be waiting

Bridge

In time

In due time

I will rest my thoughts of you

Solo

Could I be more lucky than I've grown to be just knowing that I know her

Why shouldn't I show her all the wise of getting older

Could she be more perfect in perfection her reflection is casting

Well that's the last thing I'm ever asking

Chorus

I couldn't sleep last night

I just couldn't get it right

I just couldn't sleep last night___

Outro

This is the longest day of the year
