City And Colour - Sleeping Sickness

capo on 4th fret please rate and leave a comment

Em
i awoke
C G
only to find my lungs empty
Em
and through the night
C G
so it seems i’m not breathing
Em C G
and now my dreams are nothing like they were meant to be
Em C G
and i’m breaking down , i think i’m breaking down

Em
and i’m afraid
C G
to sleep because of what haunts me
Em
such as living with the uncertainty
C G
that i’ll never find the words to say
Em C G
which would completely explain
Em C G
just how i’m breaking down

[ chorus ]
D Em C
someone come and , someone come and save my life
D Em C
maybe i’ll sleep when i Am dead
D Em C
but now it’s like the night is taking sides
D Em C
with all the worries that occupy the back of my mind
D Em C
could it be this misery will suffice?

[ gordon downie ]
Em
i’ve become
C G
a simple souvenir of someone’s kill
Em
and like the sea
C G
i’m constantly changing from calm to ill
Em C G
madness fills my heart and soul as if the great divide could swallow me whole
Em
oh , how i’m breaking down

[ chorus ]

oooohhh my life
D Em C
someone come and , someone come and save my life ( save my life )
D Em C
someone come and , someone come and save my life ( save my life )
D Em C
someone come and , someone come and save my life
D Em C
could it be this misery will suffice?
