Barenaked Ladies- Who Needs Sleep? 
 
G5 C5 D5 E5 
 
G5        C5         D5      G5 
Now I lay me down not to sleep 
G5        C5          D5       G5 
I just get tangled in the sheets 
E5      C5            D5        E5 
I swim in sweat three inches deep 
E5      C5            D5        G5 
I just lay back and claim defeat 
 

G5 C5 D5 E5 (slow) 
 
G5        C5         D5      G5 
Chapter read and lesson learned. 
G5        C5         D5      G5 
Turn the lights off while she burns. 
E5      C5            D5        E5 
So while she's 300 degrees, 
E5      C5            D5        E5 
I throw the sheets off and I freeze. 
 
Chorus 
A5            F5                  G5 
Lid's down, count sheep, count heartbeats 
    A5               G5                    A5 
The only thing that counts is that I won't sleep 
F5             G5 
Countdown, I look around 
 

C5 
Who needs sleep 
             F5 
Well you're never gonna get it 
C5 
Who needs sleep 
         F5 
Tell me what's that for 
C5 
Who needs sleep 
            F5 
You have to live with what you're getting 
             G5 
There's a guy's been awake since the second World War 
 
Repeat from ?Who needs sleep?? 
 

G5 C5 D5 E5 

G5        C5         D5      G5 
My hands are locked up tight in fists 
G5        C5         D5      G5 
My mind is racing, filled with lists 
E5      C5            D5        E5 
of things to do and things I've done 
E5      C5            D5        E5 
Another sleepless night's begun. 
 
Chorus 
C5               G5             C5             G5 
So much joy in life so many pleasures all around 
         C5           G5           C5             G5 
But the pleasure of insomnia is one I've never found 
      C5              G5                C5            G5 
With all life has to offer there's so much to be enjoyed 
          C5            G5            C5            G5 
But the pleasures of insomnia are ones I can't avoid
