  I took a walk around the yard
                               
Dug the flowers til it got too hard
  /                   
I smoked my first pack of cigarettes today
       
And, I watched the children play.

                                           
And, then I went down, down to Lucy's old Cafe
                   
Put a half a case away
  /                    
I took a sleeping pill and tried to watch TV
                                  
But you know baby the leading lady looked 
                                    
too much like you for the likes of me.


                       
And, I woke up crying in my sleep
                         
I was talking    to your pillow
                               
And I reached out to touch your hand
                            
And knocked the phone off the nightstand
                           
And the operator said, "May I help you please?"
                                         
No thanks baby there's nothing you can really do for me
                                                  
I just had a bad dream, that's all that's wrong with me
  A              D     A--G--A
I just had a bad dream.


                           
  Went out to loosen up the car
                                   
Some how I wound up at the rainbow bar
  /            
I had a scotch and soda on the run
       
But, I didn't get too far.


                                                 
And, then I ran down, down some friends I used to know
                            
Dragged them out to see the show
  /                    
I drew myself a bath and I tried to read your book
                                            
But you know baby this time it just didn't seem 
                          
quite worth the time it took.


                       
And, I woke up crying in my sleep
                         
I was talking    to your pillow
                               
And I reached out to touch your hand
                            
And knocked the phone off the nightstand
                           
And the operator said, "May I help you please?"
                                         
No thanks baby there's nothing you can really do for me
                                                  
I just had a bad dream, that's all that's wrong with me
  A              D             A                     G--A
I just had a bad dream, that's all that's wrong with me...


                
Crying in my sleep
                
Crying in my sleep (I woke up crying)
                
Crying in my sleep (Crying trying to find her)
                
Crying in my sleep (I woke up crying)
                
Crying in my sleep (Crying trying to find her)
D      A     G     A--D
Crying in my sleep...
