Intro: Em-- x4
Verse 1:
F#m
I lay down for the night
Bm
and rest my weary eyes
C#
hoping tonight that
F#m
things might change
F#m
but in this darkness my
Bm
thoughts start to multiply
C# F#m
and sanity slowly slips away
Refrain:
Bm
and as the sun starts creeping
E F#m
through the cracks between
Bm
the shades it calls me out to
C#
battle through another day
Chorus 1:
F#m
And I just need one more
D A
hour to sleep sweet relief
C#
from the demons in my mind
F#m
I toss and turn but still
D
nothing seems to rule
A
Can't turn off these nervous
thoughts and though
C#
I'm shutting my mind's
stuck powered on
Post Chorus: Guitar Solo
Em--C--G--B--
Verse 2:
F#m
I peel my body up
Bm
and pour myself a cup
C#
Go through the motions
F#m
of the day
F#m
And try to figure
Bm
out a way to
C#
reconcile the two sides
F#m
at war inside of me
(Repeat Refrrain)
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Bridge:
A
As seconds
D
turns to minutes
and hours into
F#m
days. My thoughts
D
evaporate into the
A/C#
haze of real
Bm E
life dreams I need
D
to clear my mind
A/C# Bm
of everything so that
A E/G# F(hold)
I can get some sleep
