Verse 1:
Dm
I lay down for the night
Gm
and rest my weary eyes
A
hoping tonight that
Dm
things might change
Dm
but in this darkness my
Gm
thoughts start to multiply
A Dm
and sanity slowly slips away
Refrain:
Gm
and as the sun starts creeping
C Dm
through the cracks between
Gm
the shades it calls me out to
A
battle through another day
Chorus 1:
Dm
And I just need one more
A# F
hour to sleep sweet relief
A
from the demons in my mind
Dm
I toss and turn but still
A#
nothing seems to rule

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

Verse 2:
Dm
I peel my body up
Gm
and pour myself a cup
A
Go through the motions

of the day
Dm
And try to figure
Gm
out a way to
A
reconcile the two sides
Dm
at war inside of me
(Repeat Refrrain)

life dreams I need

to clear my mind
F/A Gm
of everything so that
F C/E F(hold)
I can get some sleep
