Verse 1:
Fm
I lay down for the night
A#m
and rest my weary eyes
C
hoping tonight that
Fm
things might change
Fm
but in this darkness my
A#m
thoughts start to multiply
C Fm
and sanity slowly slips away
Refrain:
A#m
and as the sun starts creeping
D# Fm
through the cracks between
A#m
the shades it calls me out to
C
battle through another day
Chorus 1:
Fm
And I just need one more
C# G#
hour to sleep sweet relief
C
from the demons in my mind
Fm
I toss and turn but still
C#
nothing seems to rule
G#
Can't turn off these nervous
thoughts and though
C
I'm shutting my mind's
stuck powered on

Verse 2:
Fm
I peel my body up
A#m
and pour myself a cup
C
Go through the motions
Fm
of the day
Fm
And try to figure
A#m
out a way to
C
reconcile the two sides
Fm
at war inside of me
(Repeat Refrrain)
(Repeat Chorus 1)

As seconds

haze of real
A#m D#
life dreams I need
C#
to clear my mind
G#/C A#m
of everything so that
G# D#/G F(hold)
I can get some sleep
