   C                     Am
4:55, everybody else is snorin'
         Dm                        G
My heavy eyes, I can never seem to close 'em
            C                                   Am
My running mind just can't catch you when it's goin'
               Dm                          G
Is it late at night or is it early in the mornin'?

         C                               Am
Only so many sheep a girl can count, patchouli candles burnin' out
   Dm                              G
I try to meditate it all away but damn, it is too quiet now
 C                                Am
Daylight helps distract my head, monsters hide under my bed
      Dm                                        G
They bother me with all kinds of things like "where do I go when I'm dead?"

Chorus:
       C                     Am
Is it too much to ask for a sweet dream?
 Dm                       G
Need a step back from my feelings
Em                           Am
Life is not so bad when I'm sleeping
       Dm               G
Is it too much to ask, too much to ask for a
C      Am
Sweet dream
Dm            G
For a sweet dream

6:58, sun's peakin' through the curtains
I drift away, suddenly the wheels are turnin'
Songs are in my head, scary thoughts begin to worsen
Once I'm wide awake, it's too hard to reverse it

Chirpin' birds are flying 'round my house
Patchouli candles burnin' out
I try to meditate it all away
But damn, it is too quiet now
Daylight helps distract my head
Monsters hide under my bed
They bother me with all kinds of things like
That one stupid thing I said

Chorus:
Is it too much to ask for a sweet dream? (Sweet dream)
Need a step back from my feelings (Feelings)
Life is not so bad when I'm sleeping
Is it too much to ask, too much to ask for a
A sweet dream?
For a sweet dream
A sweet dream
For a sweet dream

C       Am       Dm    G
Sandman can you visit me?
C      Am     Dm        G
All I want is a sweet dream

8:31, I'm slurrin' every word now
I pray this cold coffee helps me with the rebound
How does everybody I know know how to sleep sound?
When we're all a mess, I guess the only way out is a

A sweet dream (Sweet dream, sweet dream)
Is a sweet dream (Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah)
Sweet dream (Oh yeah)
Is a sweet dream (Yeah)
