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