Bm
I lay down for the night

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

Can't turn off these nervous
thoughts and though
F#
I'm shutting my mind's
stuck powered on

Verse 2:
Bm
I peel my body up
Em
and pour myself a cup
F#
Go through the motions

of the day

And try to figure
Em
out a way to

reconcile the two sides
Bm
at war inside of me
(Repeat Refrrain)

evaporate into the

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