Capo 1st fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Chorus
Play one strum per chord for the first one)
I'm not asking you to leave
I'm just begging you to let me get some sleep
I've lied awake for far too long
I get so sick and tired of witnessing the dawn
Verse 1
As Summer hangs on the horizon
Desire jumps the fence and hightails to the sea
A subtle tick turns into nightmares
Without the sentence structure nothing functions
No one has a clue if it's me or if it's you
Was it me or was it you?
Chorus
I'm not asking you to leave
I'm just begging you to let me get some sleep
I've lied awake for far too long
I get so sick and tired of witnessing the dawn
Verse 2
As Winter strangles at the shoreline
Division locks the door and confiscates the key
All freezer burn and Arctic research
The time has passed for pouring glances, there's no romance
There's no sign of the things that used to be
And all those things you promised me
Chorus
I'm not asking you to leave
I'm just begging you to let me get some sleep
I've lied awake for far too long
I get so sick and tired of witnessing the dawn
Bridge
From nervous hands to nervous nightmares
I often wake and find
I'm not alone, just lonely all of the time
I'm not alone, just lonely all of the time
I'm not alone, just lonely all of the time
I'm not alone, just lonely all of the time
Chorus
I'm not asking you to leave
I'm just begging you to let me get some sleep
I've lied awake for far too long
I get so sick and tired of witnessing the dawn
I'm not asking you to leave [I'm not asking you to leave]
I'm not asking you to leave [I'm not asking you to leave]
I'm not asking you to leave [I'm not asking you to leave]
I'm just begging you to let me get some sleep
