Key: G
Introduction:
G
I'd be hanging on their words
C9
Like they almost meant a thing
G C9
In the only lullaby I heard,the sirens blaring,
Am
singing me to sleep
C9
Holding my loved one tight
G
On the softness of her laugh,
C9
I could almost make my bed
G
But the racket of her absence join
C9 Am
The sirens blaring, ringing in my head
C9 Am
Holding nothing tight, holding nothing tight
C9
With my eyes so wide
F/C
In a house without a back door
C/G
I was looking for a fire escape
F/C
And I'll be ripping up the floorboards
C/G
Just trying to get away
F/C C/G F/C
From this sleeplessness, Sleeplessness, sleeplessness
G C9
She'd be hanging on my words like I almost meant a thing
G
And I'd give anything not to let her down
C9 Am
to finally sleep through just one noisy night
C9
Holding her so tight
Am
Holding her so tight
C9
But my eyes are wide
Chorus: (same as before)
Am C9
'Cause my mind just can't stop moving, I think I know why
F/C C/G F/C C/G
Oooh, I know why
F C F
It's sad, but I'm a sucker for a kind word
C F
And I'll just hurt until I find one
C Am
I'll just hurt until I find one
And I've been trying all the windows
F/C C/G F/C G/C
Sleeplessness, sleeplessness, sleeplessness
