Professor green ft Tori kelly
Standard tuning - capo 1 (I play on 1st but it's open to interpret)
In the instrumental part Tori sings a melody similar to emeli sande's in read all about
it, if you listen to each song you'll pick it up
Em D G
All the times I have layed in your life
Em D C
When your love kept me safe through the night
Em D G
All the time, I was sure you were mine
C D Em
And before time demands our goodbye
C D G
Can you sing me a last lullaby?
Em D
It's been a while since I last dreamt
G
Barely remember what it's like to dream
Em
Finding it hard to get to sleep, too stressed
D Am
And there ain't anyone to sing a lullaby to me
Em
Pretend shit doesn't get to me
D G
And I suffer in silence when I'm hurting
C
A man's problems are his own And it's my burden
D
Tossing and turning, trying to get to sleep
Em
But I find it hard to switch off when my mind's working
D
I ponder on things I shouldn't ponder on
G Em
Off the rails, my train of thought's wandering
D
Sick of pretending to be so happy
C
All the while my anxiety's away at me
Em D
My skin crawling, I look up to the sky
G
And it falls, the walls close in and it's
Em D
As if all the good in my life disappears
C
In an instant, that thing is just so distant
Em D
So seeing the ones who I love, the ones who love me
G
But I don't wanna tell em how I feel in case they judge me
C D
It's just me, wish I could let somebody in
Em
But I ain't ever been too trusting
D G
All the times I have layed in your life
Em D C
When your love kept me safe through the night
Em D G
All the time, I was sure you were mine
C D Em
And before time demands our goodbye
C D Em
Can you sing me a last lullaby?

D
I've barely had any sleep when I get up
G
Sick of all these nightmares and these night terrors
D
Like it's only when I'm in heaven that I sleep better
C
Might sleep better when I get up, I'm weak
Em G
It just makes my day harder, I wonder if
C
It would've been any different if I had a father that I
D Em
Could it have helped shape the way that I grew? But the point of things I never
D
have went from Being a reason for the things that I do
G
To just being an excuse that I'd use
Em D
I've gotta take responsibility for the things I do
C
Find something other than negativity for my fuel
Em D
But I feed off it, even when I don't seem bothered
G
I hide everything that's going on inside
C D
Guess it's been a while since I've been honest, I need help
Em
But I deny it and even lie to myself like I'm fine
D G
All the times I have layed in your life
Em D C
When your love kept me safe through the night
Em D G
All the time, I was sure you were mine
C D Em
And before time demands our goodbye
C D Em
Can you sing me a last lullaby
D
I just wish someone would tell me it would be OK
G
But pessimism leads me to believe that it won't
Em D
To see even a glimmer of hope in the darkness
Am
Is hard and depression is a slippery slope
D
I don't wanna do what my dad did with a rope, though
Gm G
So I carry on even though it's hard to
C D
The only thing that's definite is death and things always change
Em
As long as you give em a chance to
D G
All the times I have layed in your life
Em D C
When your love kept me safe through the night
Em D G
All the time, I was sure you were mine
C D Em
And before time demands our goodbye
C D Em
Can you sing me a last lullaby?
