Standard (EADGBE)

First Verse:

 I'd be hanging on their words

 Like they almost meant a thing

 In the only lullaby I heard, The sirens blaring,

Am (these Am's may be replaced with an Asus if desired)

singing me to sleep

 On the softness of her laugh,

 I could almost make my bed

 But the racket of her absence join

 The sirens blaring, ringing in my head

 Holding nothing tight, holding nothing tight

 With my eyes so 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

Second Chorus:

 She'd be hanging on my words like I almost meant a thing

 And I'd give anything not to let her down

 to finally sleep through just one noisy night

 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

 'Cause my mind just can't stop moving, I think I know why

Oooh, I know why

 It's sad, but I'm a sucker for a kind word

 And I'll just hurt until I find one

 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...

 Sleeplessness, sleeplessness, sleeplessness

Chorus
