G
I'd be hanging on their words
            C9
Like they almost meant a thing
         G                        C9                          
In the only lullaby I heard,the sirens blaring, 
               Am    
singing me to sleep

             C9
Holding my loved one tight
          G
On the softness of her laugh,
          C9
I could almost make my bed
          G
But the racket of her absence join
      C9                           Am
The sirens blaring, ringing in my head
          C9                     Am
Holding nothing tight, holding nothing tight
         C9           ( Dsus )
With my eyes so wide

Chorus:
                      F/C
In a house without a back door
                     C/G
I was looking for a fire escape
                            F/C
And I'll be ripping up the floorboards
               C/G
Just trying to get away
           F/C            C/G           F/C
From this sleeplessness, Sleeplessness, sleeplessness

Second Chorus:
          G                           C9
She'd be hanging on my words like I almost meant a thing
              G
And I'd give anything not to let her down
      C9                                 Am
to finally sleep through just one noisy night

        C9
Holding her so tight
        Am
Holding her so tight
        C9            ( Dsus )
But my eyes are wide

Chorus: (same as before)

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

Bridge:
       Am                                              C9
'Cause my mind just can't stop moving, I think I know why
F/C  C/G            F/C  C/G
Oooh,       I know why
        F             C            F
It's sad, but I'm a sucker for a kind word
               C            F
And I'll just hurt until I find one
           C                 Am
I'll just hurt until I find one

And I've been trying all the windows

And I've been running up the staircase

In a house without a back door...
    F/C              C/G          F/C         G/C
Sleeplessness, sleeplessness, sleeplessness
