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