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, I stay in bed, and float upstream
CHORUS 1.
Please don't wake me, no don't shake me, leave me where I am
I'm only sleeping
VERSE 2.
Everybody seems to think I'm lazy, I don't mind, I think they're crazy
Running everywhere at such a speed, 'til they find, there's no need
CHORUS 2.
Please don't spoil my day, I'm miles away, and after all
I'm only sleeping
BRIDGE 1.
Keeping an eye on the world going by my window, taking my time
Lying there and staring at the ceiling, Waiting for a sleepy feeling
**SOLO**
(same chords as verse)
CHORUS 3.
Please don't spoil my day, I'm miles away, and after all
I'm only sleeping
BRIDGE 2.
Keeping an eye on the world going by my window, taking my time
When I wake up early in the morning, lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream, I stay in bed, and float upstream
CHORUS 4.
Please don't wake me, no don't shake me, leave me where I am

About this song: I'm Only Sleeping
"I'm Only Sleeping" is a song by The Beatles that appeared on their studio album Revolver (in the US on the Yesterday and Today album). Though the song-writing credit is Lennon-McCartney, it was written mostly by John Lennon. It is unique because it features a dual guitar solo by George Harrison played backwards and an electronically compressed rhythm guitar track. The solo is consistent with the rest of the song because Harrison took great pains to practice the entire melody of his solo backwards...
