G
I'd be hanging on their words
            C9
Like they almost meant a thing
         G                        C9                          
In the only lullaby I heard,the sirens blaring, 
               Am    
singing me to sleep

             C9
Holding my loved one tight
          G
On the softness of her laugh,
          C9
I could almost make my bed
          G
But the racket of her absence join
      C9                           Am
The sirens blaring, ringing in my head
          C9                     Am
Holding nothing tight, holding nothing tight
         C9           (Dsus)
With my eyes so wide

Chorus:
                      F/C
In a house without a back door
                     C/G
I was looking for a fire escape
                            F/C
And I'll be ripping up the floorboards
               C/G
Just trying to get away
           F/C            C/G           F/C
From this sleeplessness, Sleeplessness, sleeplessness

Second Chorus:
          G                           C9
She'd be hanging on my words like I almost meant a thing
              G
And I'd give anything not to let her down
      C9                                 Am
to finally sleep through just one noisy night

        C9
Holding her so tight
        Am
Holding her so tight
        C9            (Dsus)
But my eyes are wide

Chorus: (same as before)

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

Bridge:
       Am                                              C9
'Cause my mind just can't stop moving, I think I know why
F/C  C/G            F/C  C/G
Oooh,       I know why
        F             C            F
It's sad, but I'm a sucker for a kind word
               C            F
And I'll just hurt until I find one
           C                 Am
I'll just hurt until I find one
And I've been trying all the windows
And I've been running up the staircase
In a house without a back door...
    F/C              C/G          F/C         G/C
Sleeplessness, sleeplessness, sleeplessness
