Sleep Tonight
by Todd Nappen (
V1 -
E(bar) Em(bar)
Day by day I can see your face
Down in your cave you torment us in the wrong ways
Whispering in our ears with the most convincing voice
You shows us the way of sin, so moist on our skin
V2 - One by one he grasps onto our only soul
Felling it with darkness and making it cold
He steals our life and makes it turn into mold
From the start he gives us false sense of hope
Chorus - Am (bar) C (bar) G (bar) D (bar)
He once was an angel up high in the heavens
Yet he fell to this earth where we live
He makes our lives reflect his own
V3 - I want to escape from this prison of sin and hate
God you see what its like down in hell
We are already living in it its on earth right now
Take me o lord take me from this place
Bridge - Am (open) C (open) Em(open)
Take me o lord take me from this place
You know all my wrong and I sorry
I hate this sin it just continues again and again
It’s draining me it’s stealing my life
V3 - You’re the only one I believe in making things right
Take all that believe in you so that we can finally sleep tonight
