C Am Em G
[Verse 1] C Am
Maybe I've been slipping back, heading south, carsick on a Tuesday
Em G
Missing cash, blacking out, heartless in a few ways
C Am
Shit for luck, elbows shredded, I held things steady like too late
Em G
Please calm the fuck down, I'll do whatever you say
C Am Em
I get it, I get it, I'm living too hard and it's time that I stop it
G C
But rising on up and then tumbling down well it's part of the process
Am Em
Bar tabs on a hot night in a cold basement
N.C.
[Pre-Chorus]C Am Em G
My mother told me that the world has got its plans
C Am Em G
I wanna hold em til they burn right through my hands
C Am Em G
Don't ask me questions cause I'm tired of confessing
C Am Em N.C.
And I know that it's not much to say but I swear that I'd like to change
[Chorus] C Am
I can't sleep, I hope I stay awake
Em G
Cause I've been running, running, running all day
C Am Em G
Long nights, no peace, I feel like everybody's eyes on me
C Am
I can't sleep, I hope I stay awake
Em G
Cause I've been running, running, running all day
C Am Em G
Long nights, no peace, I feel like everybody's eyes on me
C Am Em G
I can't sleep
C Am Em G
I can't sleep, (I can't sleep), I can't sleep
[Verse 2] C Am
Maybe I've been freaking out, moving quick, burning the wick at both ends
Em G
Screaming loud, stupid shit, scaring all of my old friends
C Am
Fell down on Bedford, hope that it's not broken
Em N.C.
Safe to say I might have had too much of some of these potions
C Am
I love you so much, I'm staying here all night
Em G
Don't want to get up, I don't want to stop, I don't want to close my eyes
C Am
I'd rather not give a fuck and end up with some scars
Em N.C.
The night's just long enough for me to build it all and let it fall apart
[Pre-Chorus]C Am Em G
My mother told me that the world has got its plans
C Am Em G
I wanna hold em til they burn right through my hands
C Am Em G
Don't ask me questions cause I'm tired of confessing
C Am Em N.C.
And I know that it's not much to say but I swear that I'd like to change
[Chorus] C Am
I can't sleep, I hope I stay awake
Em G
Cause I've been running, running, running all day
C Am Em G
Long nights, no peace, I feel like everybody's eyes on me
C Am
I can't sleep, I hope I stay awake
Em G
Cause I've been running, running, running all day
C Am Em G
Long nights, no peace, I feel like everybody's eyes on me
C Am Em G
I can't sleep
C Am Em G
I can't sleep, (I can't sleep), I can't sleep
C Am Em G
I can't sleep, (I can't sleep), I can't sleep
C Am Em G
[Outro]C Am Em G
My mother told me that the world has got its plans
C Am Em G
I wanna hold em til they burn right through my hands
C Am Em G x4
