Billy Joel - Sleeping With the Television On: chords

D          A/C#         Bm   G         D/F#
I've been watching you waltz all night Diane
G         D/F#          Bm          A
Nobody's found a way behind your defenses
D          A/C#       Bm   G      D/F#
They never notice the zap gun in your hand
G             D/F#             Em            D/F#
Until you're pointing it and stunning their senses

Chorus:
Bm   A     G         D/F#  Em
All night long, all night long
G                 D/F#               Bm
You'll shoot 'em down because you're waiting for
 A
somebody
 Bm      A   G  D/F# Em
good to come on
(All  night long, all night long)
                G                A         Gmaj7
But you'll be sleeping with the television on

Oh, 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:
All night long, all night long
You're only standing there 'cause
somebody once did somebody wrong
(All night long, all night long)
But you'll be sleeping with the television on

                      D/G     G    D/G  G
Your eyes are saying talk to me, (talk to me)
but your attitude is
(talk to me)
 A/B   Bm   A/B  Bm
don't waste my time
(talk to me, talk to me)
                     D/G      G
Your eyes are saying talk to me,
                D/G   G
But you won't hear a word
(talk to me)
           Bm/A       A       Bm/A    A7
'cause it just might be the same old line

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:
All night long, all night long
I'll just be standing here 'cause
I know I don't have the guts to come on
(All night long, all night long)
And I'll be sleeping with the television on

Your eyes are sayin', "Talk to me, talk to me"
But your attitude is "Don't waste my time"
But I won't say a word 'cause it
just might be somebody else's same old line

Chorus:
All night long, all night long
We're only standing here 'cause
somebody might do somebody wrong
(All night long, all night long)
And we'll be sleeping with the television on
Sleeping with the television—
Sleeping with the television—
Sleeping with the television on
Oh, sleeping with the television on
