 Em                           Am      G       C    G         B7
When I wake up early in the morning, lift my head I'm still yawning.
 Em                          Am     G       C    G       C
When I'm in the middle of a dream, stay in bed float upstream.
  G                  Am                 Bm              Am
Please don't wake me no don't shake me leave me where I am

I'm only sleeping


 Em                           Am   G        C      G             B7
Everybody seems to think I'm lazy, I don't mind I think they're crazy
 Em                           Am     G        C    G          C
Running everywhere at such a speed 'til they find there's no need
  G                   Am             Bm             Am
Please don't spoil my day I'm miles away and after all
          Asus2      Em
I'm only sleeping


 Fmaj7                 E                  Am  Am7/G
Keeping an eye on the world going by my window,
 Fmaj7
Taking my time


 Em                             Am        G      C      G       B7
Lying there and staring at the ceiling, waiting for a sleepy feeling 
(backwards guitar solo)

  G                   Am             Bm             Am
Please don't spoil my day I'm miles away and after all
