G                                      C                     D7
Every night I just can't go to sleep   Every night I have to count sheep.

G7 (harmony sings the 7th) Em                A7            D7
Every night I just can't   go to sleep   without you, without you.

G                                 C                       D7    
Every night I feel so lonely      Longing for you one and only.

G7                       Em               A7            D7  
Every night I just can't go to sleep   without you, without you.


G              Em                           G   
No, no, no no, no,  yeah I just can't go to sleep now
(no no no no no)
Em                      G            Em         A7           D7  
Yeah I just can't go to sleep        yeah   without you, without you.
                        (no no no no no)
                 G               
Just can't go to sleep, to sleep.

        Every day you look my way and I want to hold you.

Bb                                                     D7
 But when nighttime comes, you're not around for me to love.


VERSE:
G                                      C                     D7
Every night I just can't go to sleep   Every night I have to count sheep.

G7                       Em               A7           D7    
Every night i just can't go to sleep  without you, without you.

G              Em                           G            Em      (fade)
No, no, no no, no,  yeah I just can't go to sleep now.         oh I just... 
                                            (no no no no no)

note: for all you guitar freaks, on the bridge, Dave is approaching the C,
Bb and D major chords with a 2nd leading up to the third, or what is
commonly called a "retardation". For example in the Bb chord, omit the 3rd
(D) and add the 2nd (C). On the second half of the beat "scoop up" to the
3rd (D) or a fully major Bb chord. I bar the Bb, and leave the b string open
and then play the full chord.  On D chord it is really easy; strum D chord
with an open e string, then hit the f# on the 2nd fret.
