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