Sleep With One Eye Open

Lester Flatt

Key of G · Chords: I IV V

Verse 1

G
I just found out today the little game you play
D
I’ve been sleeping all my life away
G
You’ve been stepping so they say between midnight and day
G                       D                     G
So I’m gonna sleep with one eye open from now on

Chorus

C             G
From now on - all night long
G                                           D
You won’t have a chance to treat your daddy wrong
G
You’ve been stepping so they say between midnight and day
G                       D                     G
So I’m gonna sleep with one eye open from now on

Verse 2

G
There’s honky tonk down the road just a mile or so
D
I understand that’s where you spend your time
G
Baby I got news for you your little game is through
G                       D             G
From now on baby you’re gonna toe the line

(Chorus)

Verse 3

G
You thought you were being wise running around with other guys
D
And leaving me to spend my time alone
G
But you’ll find out today it don’t work out that way
G                         D            G
You started a little game that two can play
