D5
As I finally meet my end
  F#5
I won't be scared, I won't defend
    B5
The things I've done
        C5                 G5
I don't need him like you do
        C5                 G5
I don't fear him like you do

D5
As my world revolves the sun
  F#5
I hope the light that I become
    B5
Can sleep for once
        C5                 G5
I won't leave it like you do
        C5                G5
I won't lead it like you do
        C5                  G5
I won't leave it like they do
        C5                  E5
I don't need him like they do

D5              F#5  
I just want to sleep forever
      B5
Never see tomorrow
   C5       G5
Or lead or follow
D5               F#5
I don't want to work forever
B5
Know what I know
   C5      G5
Or beg or borrow

              D5
Just like our mothers
                F#5
Who gave us our homes
                       B5
We'll be just like our fathers
                  C5   G5
And go out on our own

                  D5
'Cause we are the colors
                F#5
Of all that you see
                       B5
We'll be just like our brothers
                C5       G5
And take to the streets
                G5
And take to the streets

D5              F#5
I just want to sleep forever
      B5
Never see tomorrow
   C5       G5
Or lead or follow

D5
As my world it hides behind
    F#5
The words only your wars define
     B5
They read a lot like news
      C5                 G5
But I fear it more than you
  C5                 E5
I fear it more than you

D5              F#5
I just want to sleep forever
      B5
Never see tomorrow
   C5       G5
Or lead or follow
D5               F#5
I don't want to work forever
B5
Know what I know
   C5      G5
Or beg or borrow

              D5
Just like old lovers
                F#5
Who never leave home
                 B5
We'll forget the city
                 C5     G5
We'll forgot the roads

                  D5
'Cause we are all rebels
                    F#5
Never do what we're told
                B5
We may not grow money
                C5   G5
But man we grow old
            G5
Man we grow old

D5              F#5
I just want to sleep forever
       B5
Never see tomorrow
   C5       G5
Or lead or follow
D5               F#5
I don't want to work forever
B5
Know what I know
   C5      G5
Or beg or borrow

              D5
Just like our mothers
            F#5
Who gave us homes
                       B5
We'll be just like our fathers
                  C5    G5
And go out on our own

                  D5
'Cause we are the colors
                F#5
Of all that you see
                       B5
We'll be just like our brothers
                C5       G5
And take to the streets

                  D5
'Cause we are all children
                F#5
Yeah we are all man
              B5
It may not be much
                  C5   G5
But we do what we can

              D5
Don't need no preacher
           F#5
To make us believe
                  B5
That everything's perfectly
               C5  G5  D5
Fucked up like me
