First Verse:
I'd be hanging on their words
Like they almost meant a thing
In the only lullaby I heard, The sirens blaring,
Am (these Am's may be replaced with an Asus if desired)
singing me to sleep
E-----------------------------------| C9
B-----------------------------------| Holding my loved one tight...

A--0-2-0-------0-2-0------0-2-0-----|

On the softness of her laugh,
I could almost make my bed
But the racket of her absence join
The sirens blaring, ringing in my head
Holding nothing tight, holding nothing tight
With my eyes so wide
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
Second Chorus:
She'd be hanging on my words like I almost meant a thing
And I'd give anything not to let her down
to finally sleep through just one noisy night
E------------------------------------| C9
B------------------------------------| Holding her so tight...
G------------------------------------|
D-----------3---------5--------------| Am
A--0-2-0-------0-2-0------0-2-0------|
E--------------------------------3-1-| Holding her so tight...
But my eyes are wide
(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
'Cause my mind just can't stop moving, I think I know why
Oooh, I know why
It's sad, but I'm a sucker for a kind word
And I'll just hurt until I find one
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...
Sleeplessness, sleeplessness, sleeplessness
