Verse
F
I'd be hanging on their words
A#9
Like they almost meant a thing
F A#9
In the only lullaby I heard, The sirens blaring,
Gm (these Gm's may be replaced with an Asus if desired)
singing me to sleep
E-----------------------------------| A#9
B-----------------------------------| Holding my loved one tight...
G-----------------------------------|
D-----------3---------5-------------|
A--0-2-0-------0-2-0------0-2-0-----|
E-------------------------------3-1-|
F
On the softness of her laugh,
A#9
I could almost make my bed
F
But the racket of her absence join
A#9 Gm
The sirens blaring, ringing in my head
A#9 Gm
Holding nothing tight, holding nothing tight
A#9 (Dsus)
With my eyes so wide
Chorus:
D#/A#
In a house without a back door
A#/F
I was looking for a fire escape
D#/A#
And I'll be ripping up the floorboards
A#/F
Just trying to get away
D#/A# A#/F D#/A#
From this sleeplessness, Sleeplessness, sleeplessness
Second Chorus:
F A#9
She'd be hanging on my words like I almost meant a thing
F
And I'd give anything not to let her down
A#9 Gm
to finally sleep through just one noisy night
E------------------------------------| A#9
B------------------------------------| Holding her so tight...
G------------------------------------|
D-----------3---------5--------------| Gm
A--0-2-0-------0-2-0------0-2-0------|
E--------------------------------3-1-| Holding her so tight...
A#9 (Dsus)
But my eyes are wide
Chorus: (same as before)
In a house without a back door
I was looking for a fire escape
And I'll be ripping up the floorboards
Just trying to get away
From this sleeplessness, Sleeplessness, sleeplessness
Bridge:
Gm A#9
'Cause my mind just can't stop moving, I think I know why
D#/A# A#/F D#/A# A#/F
Oooh, I know why
D# A# D#
It's sad, but I'm a sucker for a kind word
A# D#
And I'll just hurt until I find one
A# Gm
I'll just hurt until I find one
And I've been trying all the windows
And I've been running up the staircase
In a house without a back door...
D#/A# A#/F D#/A# F/A#
Sleeplessness, sleeplessness, sleeplessness
