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