Em
I lay down for the night

and rest my weary eyes
B
hoping tonight that

Em
but in this darkness my

thoughts start to multiply
B Em
and sanity slowly slips away
Refrain:
Am
and as the sun starts creeping
D Em
through the cracks between
Am
the shades it calls me out to
B
battle through another day
Chorus 1:
Em
And I just need one more
C G
hour to sleep sweet relief
B
from the demons in my mind
Em
I toss and turn but still

nothing seems to rule

Can't turn off these nervous
thoughts and though
B
I'm shutting my mind's

Verse 2:
Em
I peel my body up
Am
and pour myself a cup
B
Go through the motions

And try to figure

out a way to

reconcile the two sides
Em
at war inside of me

life dreams I need

to clear my mind
G/B Am
of everything so that
G D/F# F(hold)
I can get some sleep
