For Sleepless Minds
Alex Kaneko


Very slow, but still amazing.  I apologize for the length, 
but it's kind of necessary becuase he always changes a thing or two every time.
I hope you don't find it confusing in some areas.

Capo 3rd fret
All notes relative to capo
Standard Tuning EBGDAE

Lyrics:

So maybe I was wrong
Maybe I can't take the monotone
Maybe I'm not strong
Maybe I deserve to be alone.

Ask yourself the questions
That you know you just can't answer 'till tomorrow
Cause you're scared of your dreams
Try to find the sense in things
You just can't seem to fight away the sorrow
But its not how it seems

Try to understand
I'm still mesmerized and mystified with you
But its no simple plan
Cause I don't even know what to feel or do

So I'll ask myself the questions
That I know I just can't ask myself forever
Cause I'll never know
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Maybe I can ask you why tomorrow
But for now
Let me let go

So maybe she was right
Afterall you knew it all along
And you never got your fight
Maybe you deserve to be alone

Ask yourself the questions
That you know you just can't answer 'till tomorrow
Cause you're scared of your dreams
Try to find the sense in things
You just can't seem to fight away the sorrow
But its not how it seems
No

Try to understand
I'm still mesmerized and mystified with you
But its no simple plan
Cuz I don't even know what to feel or do

So I'll ask myself the questions
That I know I just can't ask myself forever
Cause I'll never know
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Maybe I can ask you why tomorrow
But for now
Let me 
Let go (x4)

I'll ask myself the questions
That I've asked myself a thousand times today
But I'll never know
I'll bite my lip and close my eyes
In my dreams apologize
And say, "Please let me, let go."
