Fairly simple to play...my first tab so be kind ;) Sounds pretty close to the song!

Capo on 1st fret


CHORUS (Play one strum per chord for the first one)
G       D             C
I'm not asking you to leave
Em       D              C
I'm just begging you to let me get some sleep
G            D              C
I've lied awake for far too long
Em       D                 C
I get so sick and tired of witnessing the dawn


VERSE 1
G                         C
As Summer hangs on the horizon
G                          C
Desire jumps the fence and hightails to the sea
G                        C
A subtle tick turns into nightmares
G                              C
Without the sentence structure nothing functions
             Em           D             C    
No one has a clue if it's me or if it's you
Em       D            C
Was it me or was it you?


CHORUS
G       D             C
I'm not asking you to leave
Em       D              C
I'm just begging you to let me get some sleep
G            D              C
I've lied awake for far too long
Em       D                 C
I get so sick and tired of witnessing the dawn


VERSE 2
G                          C
As Winter strangles at the shoreline
G                           C
Division locks the door and confiscates the key
G                           C
All freezer burn and Arctic research
G                               C                   
The time has passed for pouring glances, there's no romance
           Em          D                   C
There's no sign of the things that used to be
Em            D                   C
And all those things you promised me


CHORUS
G       D             C
I'm not asking you to leave
Em       D              C
I'm just begging you to let me get some sleep
G            D              C
I've lied awake for far too long
Em       D                 C
I get so sick and tired of witnessing the dawn


BRIDGE
Em           D                C
From nervous hands to nervous nightmares
Em      D
I often wake and find
G                   C
I'm not alone, just lonely all of the time
G                   C
I'm not alone, just lonely all of the time
G                   C
I'm not alone, just lonely all of the time
G                   C
I'm not alone, just lonely all of the time

CHORUS
G       D             C
I'm not asking you to leave
Em       D              C
I'm just begging you to let me get some sleep
G            D              C
I've lied awake for far too long
Em       D                 C
I get so sick and tired of witnessing the dawn

G       D             C
I'm not asking you to leave [I'm not asking you to leave]
G       D             C
I'm not asking you to leave [I'm not asking you to leave]
G       D             C
I'm not asking you to leave [I'm not asking you to leave]
Em       D              Em              C (Let ring)
I'm just begging you to let me get some sleep
