D#m
I don’t wanna walk away

Sometimes I wanna be alone
F#
The comfort I feel on my own
B
It’s all I ever need
D#m
I know it’s hard for you to take
F#
I’ll make you leave before you stay

B
’cause one’s enough for me

You treat me like I’m all there is
F#
Tender touch and gentle kiss
B
And still I want to leave
D#m F#
Wish I could sing myself to sleep

Sing myself to sleep
D#m
Maybe I’m the one to blame

Maybe I think love’s a game
B
And you’re my favourite piece

Lately it all moves so fast
F#
I hardly have a chance to act

On what I really need

Sing myself to sleep

Wish I could sing myself to sleep

So I could love you blissfully

F#
I’ll make you leave before you stay
B
’cause one’s enough for me

How to play Sing Myself To Sleep: key, chords and progression

Sing Myself To Sleep by Suriel Hess is built around E♭ minor (six sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯, A♯, E♯), with 3 chords in all: D#m, F# and B.

The progression the song keeps returning to is D#m – F# – B – D#m (i – III – VI – i in E♭ minor). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes C#m, E, A (67% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
