Standard (EADGBE)

Now I lay me down not to sleep

I just get tangled in the sheets

I swim in sweat three inches deep

I just lay back and claim defeat

Lid's down, count sheep, count heartbeats

 The only thing that counts is that I won't sleep

Countdown, I look around

Who needs sleep

 Well you're never gonna get it

Who needs sleep

 Tell me what's that for

Who needs sleep

 You have to live with what you're getting

 There's a guy's been awake since the second World War

So much joy in life so many pleasures all around

 But the pleasure of insomnia is one I've never found

 With all life has to offer there's so much to be enjoyed

 But the pleasures of insomnia are ones I can't avoid

Now I lay me down not to sleep.

I just get tangled in the sheets.

I swim in sweat 3 inches deep

Just lay back and claim defeat

Chapter read and lesson learned.

Turn the lights off while she burns.

So while she's 300 degrees,

I throw the sheets off and I freeze.

Chorus

Lids down, I count sheep

I count heart beats.

The only thing that counts is that I won't sleep

I countdown, I look around

Who needs sleep??

Well you're never gonna get it.

Who needs sleep??

Tell me, what's that for?

Who needs sleep??

You're happy wiith what you get and there's a guy that's been awake

since the 2nd world war.

Who needs sleep??

Well you're never gonna get it.

Who needs sleep??

Tell me, what's that for?

Who need sleep??

You happy with what you get and there's a guy that's been awake since

the 2nd world war.

My hands are locked up tight in fists

My mind is racing, filled with lists

of things to do and things I've done

Another sleepless night's begun.

Lids down, I count sheep

I count heart beats.

The only thing that counts is that I won't sleep

I countdown, I look around

Who needs sleep??

Well you're never gonna get it.

Who needs sleep??

Tell me, what's that for?

Who needs sleep??

You're happy wiith what you get and there's a guy that's been awake

since the 2nd world war.

Who needs sleep??

Well you're never gonna get it.

Who needs sleep??

Tell me, what's that for?

Who need sleep??

You happy with what you get and there's a guy that's been awake since

the 2nd world war.

So much joy in life and so many pleasures all around

but the pleasure of insomnia is one I'd never found.

With all life has to offer, there's so much to be enjoyed

but the pleasures of insomnia are ones I can't avoid.

Lids down, I count sheep

I count heart beats.

The only thing that counts is that I won't sleep

I countdown, I look around

Halla halla halla
