INTRO:
G — C (x4)
VERSE 1:
G C
Lost one friend, and another
G C
Lost my way, and a lover
G Em Cm Cm6
But she never really knew me at all
VERSE 2:
G C
Now, what's the thought that'll change me?
G C
Did you think you could break me?
G Em Cm
Guess your pieces didn't shape me after all
TRANSITION 1:
Cm — Dm — D#
CHORUS 1:
G F7 Em
How do you sleep through the night?
D C
It's so sad, and she says;
G F7 Em
"These are the things that aren't right
D C
in your head" — so I'm like;
G F7 Em C A7
"Could you describe being alive?
D#7
Knowing you must suffer too, survive"
PRE—VERSE:
G — C (x2)
VERSE 3:
G C
So, what's with love — means attention
G C
What's with lost — as direction?
G Em Cm Cm6
What with old pain that'll beckon to the weak
VERSE 4:
G C
What's with hate — had redemption
G C
What's with trust — needs rejection
G Em Cm
What with killing the dance that we seek?
TRANSITION 2:
Cm — Dm — D#
CHORUS 2:
G F7 Em
So how do you sleep through the night?
D C
It's so sad, and she says;
G F7 Em
"These are the things that aren't right
D C
in your head" — so I'm like;
G F7 Em C A7
"Could you describe being alive?
D#7
Knowing you must suffer too, survive"
PRE—BRIDGE:
G — C (x2)
BRIDGE:
D#7 C
Baby, when you threw the cup
F Gm
You knew I wouldn't pick it up
D#7 C
And maybe, there's another life
F D
That took you away
D#7 C
And life is like a photograph
F Gm
You tear it up and send it back
D#7 C
But please no more pictures today
CHORUS 3:
G F7 Em
So, how do you sleep through the night?
D C
It's so sad, and she says;
G F7 Em
"These are the things that aren't right
D C
in your head" — so I'm like;
G F7 Em G A7
"Could you describe being alive?
D#7
Knowing you must suffer too, you really do"
TRANSITION 3:
Cm — D — D#
CHORUS 4:
G F7 Em
How do you sleep through the night?
G C
It's so sad, and she says;
G F7 Em
"These are the things that aren't right
G C
in your head" — so I'm like;
G F7 Em G C A7
"Could you describe being alive?
D#7
Knowing you must suffer too, survive"
