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