Stay Awake by Julia Nunes

A7                               D
It's like I don't have the patience,
                                 G

Or the will power to separate myself
                                    D

From this inundating era I've been dealt

A

And all across the nation
D                               G

Pixelated screens light up the night
A7                            D

Of insomniacs and night owls alike



CHORUS:
A7          Em
But we can turn off the lights
A
The sun's coming up

G                     A
No dreams tonight to interrupt
E                   G         A

Turn off the alarm before it sounds
Em                           G
And get out of bed without putting your head
        Em      A D
        down, down



A7                             D
I've been closing my eyes real tight
                                          G
But the space between my lids betrays the light
A7                                   D
So I'm up again, I lost the will to fight


D
The scrolling information
 
                              G
Pulls me in and holds me in a trance

A7                                D
Link to link, no I don't stand a chance


CHORUS:
A7          Em
But we can turn off the lights
A
The sun's coming up

G                     A
No dreams tonight to interrupt
E                   G         A

Turn off the alarm before it sounds
Em                           G
And get out of bed without putting your head
        Em      A D
        down, down



G               D

Stay awake with me
G                         D
In the darkness you will see
G                               D     Em A D

What I've known all along, all along along


A                  D
Baby when you're sleeping
                                Em
I wonder if you see me in your dreams
        A7                   D

Do you know exactly what it means


D
Maybe we are falling
                             G
And when I hit the ground I disappear
         A7                             D

But you open up your eyes and I'm still here



CHORUS:
A7          Em
But we can turn off the lights
A
The sun's coming up

G                     A
No dreams tonight to interrupt
E                   G         A

Turn off the alarm before it sounds
Em                           G
And get out of bed without putting your head
        Em      A D
        down, down


Em A  Em A  Em A  D
Down, down, down
