(Pattern 1)

 And I'm frustrateFd with myself

 But I can't changCe

  B flat F

I don't want to be me anymore

 And all of the ticsF & tocs & clicks of clocks

  C B flat

That tell the time tell me this is just a phase

(Pattern 2)

 And everythiDmng every day

 That'Cs been scraping away

At the side of my brain

 Can'tF come to form a thought, except...

DmAnd all the thoughts I think I've saved

CHere for days that remain

FJust keep eating away

And I still can't sleep, sing...

DmAhhhhh....CAhhhhhh.....AhhhFh....Ahhhhhh x2

(Pattern 1)

Why can't you tell me what I wanna hear

To help me get some rest

Oh my darling dear?

The songs of the birds

Don't bring calmness no more

Oh no, no they don't sing

And none of the girls seem to think you're cool

It's probably because you smell bad

A skin disease won't get you

Nowhere these days

It's true, it's sad but true

(Pattern 2)

And everything every day

That's been scraping away

At the side of my brain

Can't come to form a thought

And all of the thoughts I think I've saved

Here for days that remain

Just keep eating away

And I still can't sleep I sing...

Ahhhhh.....Ahhhhh....Ahhhhh....Ahhhhh x2

(Pattern 1)

We're going to make plans

We have plans to make plans

We're going to do it right

We've locked it in our sights

I'll la-dee-da & they can dum-dee-day

We'll tra-la-la all night and day we'll go far

(Pattern 2)

And if I write enough

And think about it it'll happen

It's not as tough as mom said

As it so happens

Your analyst lied to you when

She told you the truth

About boys, fear, open sores

And things that are simple

Like opening doors

And all the thoughts I think I've saved here

For days that remain

Just eat eat eat away

And I still can't sleep, sing...

Ahhhhh...Ahhhhh....Ahhhhh....Ahhhhhh x2
