[Verse 1]

Cmaj7
You think he'd realize
G                 D            Em D
But he's infatuated, with ideas
       Em  D                  Gmaj7         Cmaj7
Of possessions and far-flung social policies
Cmaj7                      G
His daddy works on the council
G                              Dm
His missus loves the silver spoon
Dm                            
Swore she'd never kiss a Tory, 
           G                   Cmaj7
but this boy was too good to lose
Cmaj7             G
And I'll listen caref'lly
G                       Dm
With ears pressed to the floor
Dm
As you make your way downstairs
G                           Cmaj7
You haven't got far to fall
Cmaj7
Now it's red, now it's death
Cmaj7
Now it's everything she needed
Cmaj7     G
Now it's four, open doors
G
Pillows pressed under your knees
Dm
Now it's a sad, sappy sucker
   G                    C
To ensure her the ending

[Chorus]

Cmaj7
I've been scarеd of sleeping 

with the lights off
Em                          C  
Know she's not therе, I know 
            C  C   Dm
she's going to his flat
Dm                   F
A Capricorn, oh, f*ck her
F
They say sex sells, we know that
 
Cmaj7
I've been scared of sleeping 

with the lights off

Know she's not there, I know 
            C  C   Dm  
she's going to his flat

[Verse 2]

Cmaj7             G
You could buy my silence
G                      Dm
If you've got none to lose
Dm                                  N.C.  Cmaj7
If he's still infatuated with the truth
Cmaj7                  G
So will you do what's easy?
G                      Dm
Or will you do what's right?
Dm
Please just could you let me know
 
 
[Hook]

G                       Cmaj7
Where will you sleep tonight?
Cmaj7
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
G                       Dm
Where will you sleep tonight?
Dm
G                       Cmaj7
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
Cmaj7
Where will you sleep tonight?
Cmaj7                  Dm
Where will you sleep at night?
Dm
G                    Cmaj7
How do you sleep at night?
 
 
[Verse 3]

Cmaj7
Cultured man
    G          Am
Venetian suntan
Am                     F
Red wine and club bands
F                             Cmaj7
Viagra pills on the nightstand
Cmaj7          G
How's it feel?
G                         Am
How's it feel, to be so loved?
Am                         F           F   G
How's it feel, to be so loved yet so alone?
         F   G
yet so alone?
 
 
[Chorus]
