 This is how you shall play the chords:
 Verse 1:
Mumbling  goodmorning & raising my head
A  bad  breath kiss to my pillow pet
I  take  a look at the day turns & stay in bed
Open  my eyes when the day have died
I  turned  the world and I slept alright
Now  my daymare is over I zip my jeans tight
Oh  lord won't you bless this night
 The chords in the chorus are played like the intro.
 The second verse is played like the first one.
 Okay, here we got the solo/midplay! This is for the guitarist who's
 prepared to do a little extra job! It goes like:
E|------------------------------------------------|--------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------|--------------------------|
G|------------------------------------------------|--------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------|----8-h10-10^-8-s6-4----4-|
A|----------6-s8-8-8-s6-6-6-s4-4-4-p3-h4-4-s6-s8-8|---8-------------------6-6|

E|------------------|
B|------------10-h11|
G|----8-10-11-------|
D|---8-8--8--8------|
A|------------------|
E|------------------|
 Right after that you play this riff:
E|----------------|-------------|
B|----------------|-----7-7-p6-4|
G|---6-6-3---6-6-3|---6-6-6----3|
D|---6-6-3---6-6-3|---6---------|
A|----------------|-------------|
E|----------------|-------------|*2
 Here's the final chorus. Play that as the others. But at the end of
 that (it is a bit longer than the others) you play:
'Coz  the devil's at work inside my brain
I'm  sleeping my day away I'm sleeping my day away
I'm  sleeping  my day away I'm sleeping my day away away...
 Then finish it off with a Bb.
