Em                           Am       G       C   G         B7
When I wake up early in the morning, lift my head I'm still yawning.
Em                           Am      G      C    G        C
When I'm in the middle of a dream, stay in bed float upstream.
  G                  Am                 Bm              Am
Please don't wake me no don't shake me leave me where I am
          Cmaj7
I'm only sleeping

Everybody seems to think I'm lazy, I don't mind I think they're crazy
Running everywhere at such a speed 'til they find there's no need
Please don't spoil my day I'm miles away and after all
I'm only sleeping

D7                    E7                 Am   Am7
Keeping an eye on the world going by my window,
Dm
Taking my time

Em                              Am       G       C      G      B7
Lying there and staring at the ceiling, waiting for a sleepy feeling

Em Am G C G C

G                      Am            Bm            Am
Please don't spoil my day I'm miles away and after all
          Cmaj7  Em
I'm only sleeping

Keeping an eye on the world going by my window,
Taking my time

When I wake up early in the morning, lift my head I'm still yawning.
When I'm in the middle of a dream, stay in bed float upstream.
Please don't wake me no don't shake me leave me where I am
I'm only sleeping
