Michelle Branch : Something to Sleep to
Transcribed by Jerry Sun
This is probably my favorite song on Spirit Room.
I tabbed it from her 20 dollar songbook, so it should be accurate to the recording. Enjoy!

She's his yellow brick road, leading him on and
F#m Dm A
letting him go as far as she lets him go.
B7 D
Going down to nowhere

She puts on her make-up the same way she did
F#m Dm
yesterday, hoping everything's the same.
B7 D Dm
But everything has changed.

A D F#m
In my mind, everything we did was right
E A
Open your eyes I'll still be by your side

You give me something to sleep to at night
A+ F#m Dm
(something to sleep to at night)

He wakes up to the sound, So scared that she's leaving,
F#m Dm A
He wishes she were still asleep next to him
B7 D Dm
Hoping she will change
