First Verse:
A
I'd be hanging on their words
Dmaj7
Like they almost meant a thing
A Dmaj7
In the only lullaby I heard, The sirens blaring,
G F A
singing me to sleep
F G
Holding my loved one tight...
A
On the softness of her laugh,
Dmaj7
I could almost make my bed
A
But the racket of her absence join
Dmaj7 G F A
The sirens blaring, ringing in my head
F A F A
Holding nothing tight, holding nothing tight
F G
With my eyes so wide
Chorus:
F
In a house without a back door
G
I was looking for a fire escape
F
And I'll be ripping up the floorboards
G
Just trying to get away
F G F G
From this sleeplessness, Sleeplessness, sleeplessness
Second Verse:
A Dmaj7
She'd be hanging on my words like I almost meant a thing
A
And I'd give anything not to let her down
Dmaj7 G F A
to finally sleep through just one noisy night
F A F A
Holding her so tight, holding her so tight
F G
But my eyes are wide
Chorus:
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

And I've been running up the staircase

In a house without a back door...

Sleeplessness, sleeplessness, sleeplessness
