 INTRO:
G - C (x4)



 VERSE 1:
        G                C
  Lost one friend, and another
       G              C
  Lost my way, and a lover
       G                 Em        Cm    Cm6
  But she never really knew me at all



 VERSE 2:
               G                    C
  Now, what's the thought that'll change me?
       G                    C
  Did you think you could break me?
               G             Em            Cm
  Guess your pieces didn't shape me after all



 TRANSITION 1:
Cm - Dm - Eb



 CHORUS 1:
   G           F7               Em
  How do you sleep through the night?
        D  C
  It's so sad, and she says;
    G             F7                Em
 "These are the things that aren't right
      D    C
  in your head" - so I'm like;
   G            F7    Em   C A7
 "Could you describe being alive?
    Eb7
  Knowing you must suffer too, survive"



 PRE-VERSE:
G - C (x2)



 VERSE 3:
                   G              C
  So, what's with love - means attention
               G           C
  What's with lost - as direction?
             G                Em            Cm    Cm6
  What with old pain that'll beckon to the weak



 VERSE 4:
               G            C
  What's with hate - had redemption
                G              C
  What's with trust - needs rejection
             G           Em            Cm
  What with killing the dance that we seek?



 TRANSITION 2:
Cm - Dm - Eb



 CHORUS 2:
      G           F7               Em
  So how do you sleep through the night?
        D  C
  It's so sad, and she says;
    G             F7                Em
 "These are the things that aren't right
      D    C
  in your head" - so I'm like;
   G            F7    Em   C A7
 "Could you describe being alive?
    Eb7
  Knowing you must suffer too, survive"



 PRE-BRIDGE:
G - C (x2)



 BRIDGE:
   Eb7              C
  Baby, when you threw the cup
        F              Gm
  You knew I wouldn't pick it up
       Eb7             C
  And maybe, there's another life
        F         D
  That took you away
       Eb7             C
  And life is like a photograph
       F              Gm
  You tear it up and send it back
        Eb7                    C
  But please no more pictures today



 CHORUS 3:
       G           F7               Em
  So, how do you sleep through the night?
        D  C
  It's so sad, and she says;
    G             F7                Em
 "These are the things that aren't right
      D    C
  in your head" - so I'm like;
   G            F7   Em G    A7
 "Could you describe being alive?
    Eb7
  Knowing you must suffer too, you really do"



 TRANSITION 3:
Cm - D - Eb



 CHORUS 4:
   G           F7               Em
  How do you sleep through the night?
        G  C
  It's so sad, and she says;
    G             F7                Em
 "These are the things that aren't right
      G    C
  in your head" - so I'm like;
   G            F7   Em G  C A7
 "Could you describe being alive?
    Eb7
  Knowing you must suffer too, survive"
