SLEEPING WITH THE TELEVISION ON     BILLY JOEL

KEY OF D


 -5   -8    7    7    -7  -7
Well I've been watch-ing you 

  -7  -6b  -6b  -5  -5
Waltz all night Di-ane

-6b -6b -5   -5  5 -4   4  -4    5  -5  5   -4
No-bod-y's found a way be-hind your de-fen-ces

 -8   -8  7  7  -7   -6  -7 -6b -6b -5   -5
They nev-er no-tice the zap gun in your hand

-6b -6b  -5     -5   5  -4
Un-til you're point-ing it 

 4   -4    5    -5   5   -4
and stun-ning their sen-ses

(CHORUS)

 -7   -6   -6b  -6b   -5   -5b
All night long, all night long

 -6b    -6b   -5  -5   5   -4    4     -4   5
You'll shoot 'em down be-cause you're wait-ing 

 -5   5   -4 4   5  -4   4   4
for some-bod-y good to come on

 -7   -6   -6b  -6b   -5   -5b
All night long, all night long

 -4   -4   -4   -4   4   -6b  5   -5 5  -4  4   4
But you'll be sleep-ing with the tel-e-vis-ion on


VERSE 2 same as 1
You say you're looking for someone solid here
You can't be bothered with those 
`just for the night' boys
Tonight unless you take some kind of 
chances dear
Tomorrow morning you'll wake up with 
the white noise

(CHORUS)

(BRIDGE)

 -7   -7   -6 -6b  -5  -5 -6b -6b
Your eyes are say-ing talk to me

-6b  -7  -8  7   -7 -6b -6     -6  -6  -7
But your at-tit-ude is don't waste my time

 -7   -7   -6 -6b  -5  -5 -6b -6b  -5 -6b -6b
Your eyes are say-ing talk to me, talk to me

-6b  -7  -8     7  -7  7     -7  -6
But you won't hear a word 'cause it 

 -6b  -6b -6b  -5  -6b -6b  -6b
just might be the same old line

Verse 3 same as 1
This isn't easy for me to say Diane
I know you don't need anybody's protection
I really wish I was less of a thinking man
And more a fool who's not afraid of rejection

(CHORUS)
(BRIDGE)
(CHORUS TO END)

ENJOY!!!
