      How Do You Sleep

E                     Dsus2   Asus2
I've seen your severed head at a banquet for the dead
E                     Dsus2   Asus2
All are dressed up for dinner looked so fine 
E                     Dsus2   Asus2
Your shining silver salver So tastefully powdered 
E                     Dsus2     A
With the finest military quick lime


E                     Dsus2   Asus2
Now try and picture this: as I gave you a kiss
E                  Dsus2   Asus2
The apple in your mouth slipped in mine
E               Dsus2   Asus2
The orchestra played the sweetest serenade
E                Dsus2         A
We laughed as we put away your wine

B                               A               E
So raise your glasses, here's a toast to wasted lives
F#m             Emaj7/D#          Asus2
May all their ghosts come back to haunt you
                      B
And tell you how they died

           E
How do you sleep
           Badd11
How do you last the night
    Aadd9            Badd11
And keep the dogs at bay
           E             Badd11
How do you feel when you close your eyes
    Aadd9          Badd11
And try and drift away
        E        F#m7
Does it feel any better now
        Emaj7/D#   F#m7
Does it mean any more
         E        F#m7
When the angel of death comes
       A             B               E
Knock- knocking and banging at your door

E                     Dsus2   Asus2
When all the fun was over, I put you on my shoulder
E                     Dsus2   Asus2
Took you home away from it all
E                     Dsus2   Asus2
Shot down and claimed, mounted and framed
E           Dsus2        A
Tastefully hung up on my wall

B
Are my dreams, your nightmares?
  A                  E
I hope they all come true
F#m7            Emaj7/D#        Asus2
Get off your knees the party's over
                   B
I'm coming home to you

           E
How do you sleep
           Badd11
How do you last the night
    Aadd9            Badd11
And keep the dogs at bay
           E             Badd11
How do you feel when you close your eyes
    Aadd9          Badd11
And try and drift away
        E        F#m7
Does it feel any better now
        Emaj7/D#   F#m7
Does it mean any more
         E        F#m7
When the angel of death comes
       A             B               E
Knock- knocking and banging at your door
