Intro: F#-G#m-E
       F#-G#m-B


Verse:
F# G#m  E        F#   G#m  B 
I can't sleep, I need some sleep
   F#     G#m  E         F#      G#m B
My soul's worn thin, I'm drenched in sin
     F#  G#m E    F#  G#m B
When all is gone, will I find
  F#    G#m    E       F#  G#m B
A place called home, a home of mine


Chorus:
    E                F#        G#m        B
But tonight, I won't mind, I'm awake, I'm alive
        E       F#                G#m     B
Need to swear to myself that I'll make it alright
        E           F#             G#m        B
Because night after night, it gets bolder and bright.
        E              F#      F# G#m E
And now rest is just a notion I forgot


Pre-verse: F#-G#m-B


Verse:
F#  G#m  E        F#   G#m B
Darkness falls, I check my pulse
F#   G#m E             F# G#m B 
Fast and fierce, while cities sleep 
  F#  G#m E    F#   G#m B
I lie awake, I can't pretend 
    F#  G#m     E   F#   G#m  B
For the life of me, I've made amends


Chorus:
    E                F#        G#m        B
But tonight, I won't mind, I'm awake, I'm alive
        E       F#                G#m     B
Need to swear to myself that I'll make it alright
        E           F#             G#m        B
Because night after night, it gets bolder and bright.
        E              F#      F# G#m E   F# G#m B
And now rest is just a notion I forgot
   F# G#m E  F# G#m B
So awake, so awake, yeah
   F# G#m E  F# G#m B
So awake, so awake, yeah
   F# G#m E     F# G#m B
So awake, yeah, so awake, yeah


Verse:
F# G#m   E        F#   G#m  B
I  can't sleep, I need some sleep
   F#     G#m  E         F#      G#m B   
My soul's worn thin, I'm drenched in sin
     F# G#m E          F# G#m B
When all is gone, then will I find
  F#    G#m    E       F#  G#m B
A place called home, a home of mine


Chorus:
F#       G#m      E                        F# G#m   B
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight I won't mind
F#       G#m      E                        F# G#m   B
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight I won't mind
F#       G#m      E
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
F#            G#m           B
I won't mind, I won't mind, I won't
 F# G#m E   F# G#m B
So awake, so awake, I won't mind
 F# G#m E   F# G#m B
So awake, so awake, yeah

I can't sleep...
