xfirst verse :
A
i’d be hanging on their words
Dmaj7
like they almost meant a thing
A Dmaj7
in the only lullaby i heard , the sirens blaring ,
G F A
singing me to sleep
F G
holding my loved one tight . . .
A
on the softness of her laugh ,
Dmaj7
i could almost make my bed
A
but the racket of her absence join
Dmaj7 G F A
the sirens blaring , ringing in my head
F A F A
holding nothing tight , holding nothing tight
F G
with my eyes so wide
chorus :
F
in a house without a back door
G
i was looking for a fire escape
F
and i’ll be ripping up the floorboards
G
just trying to get away
F G F G
from this sleeplessness , sleeplessness , sleeplessness
second verse :
A Dmaj7
she’d be hanging on my words like i almost meant a thing
A
and i’d give anything not to let her down
Dmaj7 G F A
to finally sleep through just one noisy night
F A F A
holding her so tight , holding her so tight
F G
but my eyes are wide
chorus :
in a house without a back door
i was looking for a fire escape
and i’ll be ripping up the floorboards
just trying to get away
from this sleeplessness , sleeplessness , sleeplessness
