SLEEP ALL DAY
words & music by jason mraz
[D] His after moan though cries [Dmaj7] oh no
He’s [Em] building up a shine but he [Em6] take it slow
And he knows it [D] time to make a [Dmaj7] change here
And [Em] time to get away [A]
And he knows it’s [D] time for all the wrong [Dmaj7] reasons
And [Em] time to end the pain [A]
But he [D] sleep all, sleep all day, [Dmaj7] sleep all, we sleep all day [Em] over [Em6]
Why don’t we?
[D] sleep all, sleep all day, [Dmaj7] sleep all, we sleep all day [Em] over [A]
She said [D] what would your mother think of all this [Dmaj7] how would your father react oh [Em] lord
Would he take it all back what they’ve [A] done
No way he said [D] take it, take it, he said [Dmaj7] make it with your [Em] own two hands
[Em6] That was my old man and he said
If [Em] all is grounded you should [G] go make a mountain out of [D] it [Dmaj7]
Oh [D] what a lovely day to have a [Dmaj7] slice of humble pie
Oh, Re [Em] calling of the while we used to drive and [Em6] drive here and [D] there
Going [Dmaj7] nowhere but [Em] for us, nowhere but for the [A] two of us
and we knew it was [D] time to take a [Dmaj7] chance here
and [Em] time to compromise our lives [Em6] just a little while
and it was [D] time for all the wrong [Dmaj7] reasons
but [Em] time is often on my side and I [Em6] give it to you tonight
and we [D] sleep all, sleep all day, [Dmaj7] sleep all, we sleep all day [Em] over [Em6]
Why don’t we?
[D] sleep all, sleep all day, [Dmaj7] we sleep all, we sleep all day [Em] over and over, over and [Em6]over again
as [D] time goes by we get a little bit tired [Dmaj7] waking and baked another Marlboro mile [Em] wide [Em6]
it’s sending the [D] boys on the run in the time in hot summer [Dmaj7] sun
to swim beneath or over [Em] outside as they’re reading between the [Em6] lines
then they re [D] member the part in the hallmark card where they [Dmaj7] read about the dreams
and reaching for the [Em] stars to hold on a little bit [Em6] closer to
and they say they knew it was [D] time, time to take, take love, [Dmaj7] time to take a chance here
[Em] time to compromise, to occu [Em6] py the lies
and it was [D] time for all the wrong [Dmaj7] reasons
But oh [Em] time is often on my side and I [Em6] give it to you, oh boy
[D] sleep all, sleep all day, [Dmaj7] sleep all, we sleep all day [Em] over [A] and over
She said [D] what would your mother think of [Dmaj7] all this, how would your father react oh [Em] lord
Would he take it all back [Em6] what they’ve done
No way he said [D] take it, take it, take it, he said [Dmaj7] make it, don’t break it with your [Em] own two hands
[Em6] That was my old man and he said
if [Em] all is grounded you should [G] go make a mountain out of [D] it [Dmaj7]
