Many thanks to the other Daysleeper Chord Tab (by someone who is unregistered - and all those that
contributed to that). They provided the chords, i just then aplied it with a capo three frets
up so that you can openly strum the verses should you wish. Sounds right to me.
 
Beautiful REM tune. Love playing it. Some of the best lyrics ever written. Enjoy.

Receiving department, 3 A.M

My night is colored headache-grey

A                 AMaj7
The bull and the bear are marking their territories     
A                 AMaj7
They're leading the blind with their international glories

I cried the other night  
A                 AMaj7
I can't even say why     
A                 AMaj7
Fluorescent flat caffeine lights
A                 AMaj7
It's furious balancing
 
C                    Bm
I am the screen, the blinding light
