Verse 1

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 up stream (float upstream)

Chorus

Please don't wake me, no don't shake me, leave me where I am
I'm only sleeping
(Guitar stops, bass solo)

Verse 2

Everybody seem to think I'm lazy, I don't mind, I think they're crazy
Running everywhere at such a speed, till they find, there's no need (there's no need)

Chorus

Please don't spoil my day, I'm miles away, and after all
I'm only sleeping
(Guitar stops, bass solo)

Bridge

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

Verse 3

Lying there staring at the ceiling, waiting for a sleeping feeling
| Em | Am | G C | G C | C |

Chorus

Please don't spoil my day, I'm miles away, and after all
I'm only sleeping
(Guitar stops, bass solo)

Bridge

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

Verse 4

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 up stream (float upstream)

I'm only sleeping
