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