I'm Only Sleeping
Lennon & McCartney / the Beatles: Revolver (1966)
| 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 | Am | |
| When I'm in the middle of a | dream; | Stay in | bed | Float up | stream. |
| G | Am | Bm | Am | |
| Please don't wake me; | No, don't shake me; | Leave me where I | am, |
| Am | Cmaj7 | (Bass-Riff) | |
| I'm only | sleeping... |
| Em | Am | G | C | G | B7 | |
| Everybody seems to think I'm | lazy; | I don't | mind, I | think they're | crazy. |
| Em | Am | G | C | G | C | Am | |
| Running everywhere at such a | speed; ' | Til they | find, | There's no | need. |
| G | Am | Bm | Am | |
| Please don't spoil my | day, I'm miles | away, And after | all, |
| Bm | Cmaj7 | |
| I'm only | sleeping... |

| Keeping an eye on the | world going by my | window, | taking my time |
| E7 | Am | G | C | G | B7 | |
| Lying there and staring at the | ceiling; | Waiting | for - a | sleepy | feeling |
