Verse 1 Chords:
T[G]hese hammers and st[D/F#]rings [Em/G]     Been [Cadd]following me ar[G]ou[C]nd[Em]
From a b[G]ox filled ga[D/F#]rage To the [Em/G]dark punk rock [Cadd]clubs Of 1[G]000 A[C]merican [Em]towns
And my f[G]riend calls me [D/F#]up,
he says, "h[Em/G]ow have you [D]been?" I say, "d[G]ear I've been w[C]ell,
Yeah the mo[Em/G]ney's co[D]ming But I [G]miss you like [D/F#]hell.
I still [Em/G]hear you in th[D]is old pi[G]an[C]o,[Em] oh yeah."

Verse 2 Chords:
She says, "[G]Andy, I kn[Cadd]ow that we d[Em/G]on't talk as [D]much
But I s[G]till hear your g[Cadd]host in these old [Em/G]     punk rock c[D]lubs
Come on,[G]   write me a s[Cadd]ong, give me s[Em/G]omething to tr[D]ust
Just p[G]romise you w[Cadd]on't let it [Em/G]be,   just the k[D]eys that you t[C]ouch."

Give me something to bel[G]ieve in, a breath from the brea[D]thing
So write it down, I [Em]don't think that I'll close my e[C]yes
'Cause lately I'm not dre[G]aming, so what's the point in sle[D]eping?
It's just that at n[Em]ight, I've got nowhere to h[C]ide
So I write you a l[G]ul[C]la[G]by     A lul[G]la[C]by[Em]

Verse 3 Chords: Same as Verse 1
These hammers and strings Been following me around
Behind passenger vans Through the snow, dirt, and sands
Of 1000 American towns.
And my friend calls me up With her heart heavy still She says,
"Andy, the doctors Prescribed me the pills. But I know I'm not crazy.
I just lost my will. So why am I, why am I taking them still?"

I need something to believe in, a breath from the breathing
So write it down, I don't think that I'll close my eyes
'Cause lately I'm not dreaming, so what's the point in sleeping?
It's just that at night, I've got nowhere to hide

Post-Chorus:
To the sl[Em]eepless, this [D]is my re[C]ply:
I will write you a lull[G]aby,[Em]    [C]   [D]    A lu[G]llaby. [Em]     [C]        [D]

Final Chorus:
Give me something to b[G]elieve in,
So write it down, I do[Em]n't think that I[D]'ll close my [C]eyes
'Cause lately I'm not d[G]reaming, so what's the point in s[C]leeping?
It's just that at [Em]night, I've got nowhere to [C]hide
To the sp[Em]eepless, this [D]is my re[C]ply:
 (repeat to fade out[G])    [C]      [Em]         [D]                  [G]                       [C]                         [Em]                            [D]
I'll write you a lullaby          A lullaby,        a lullaby… etc
