(INTRO)

(play figure 1a by itself, and then play figure 1b during

Dm-G-Dm-G-Dm-G-Dm-G-C-G-F-G-Dm-G-Dm-G-Dm-G-Dm-G)

(VERSE: figure 1b is played over D-G chords during verses)

the bed at night is a liferaft

in the ocean of the dark

i hang my hands over the sides

and pray that god knows why

drifting somewhere in the black

feeling (low?) 'neath the blanket

and the weight of the mattress

the mistress of the sheets

(BRIDGE: play following chord progression using

bridge chord shapes shown above:

Second guitar plays figure two (shown above) over chords)

on many successive nights i've been miserable

give one (sense?) to sense the invisible

i know you're in this room

being (? ? ?)

(SOLO: play figure three over repeated chord

progression Dm-G...)

(VERSE)

the bed at night is a lifeboat

a throne off which you can (?) from

i hang my hands and feet over the sides

and pray to the space of what can never be known
