Sleep Chords

[Intro]
C# D
D Am G D
 
[Verse 1]
D          Am
It seems I spend my days now
G                D
Lost in veils of sleep.
D          Am
Trapped in slumber's grasp,
  G                  D
Nowhere that I could be.
D         Am
I grew so goddamned tired
G                      D
Fighting against these chains.
D        Am
No signs of release
   G              D
Or payment for my pains.
 
[Chorus]
F           C
I know that I must try to
Am                 G
Break out of this cell I call my life.
F        C                Am
To go to sleep is just to hide away.
F          C
I close my eyes so I won't
Am                 G
See the things I'd have to try to get.
F         C                Am
I haven't tried, I've only turned away.
 
[Verse 2]
D     Am
In my sleeping world
G                    D
I thought that I was safe.
D         Am
Free from all the pain
    G                D
And burning light of day.
D        Am
And even in my sleep now
G                 D
Life is less than kind.
D    Am
No escaping from
     G             D
This madness in my mind.
 
[Chorus]
F           C
I know that I must try to
Am                 G
Break out of this cell I call my life.
F        C                Am
To go to sleep is just to hide away.
F          C
I close my eyes so I won't
Am                 G
See the things I'd have to try to get.
F         C                Am
I haven't tried, I've only turned away.
 
[Outro]
D       C       C    Em
Wasting my life away in sleep.
C    Em B Am
 Severing.
