G        C9       Dadd4   G
Now I lay me down not to sleep
G          C9      Dadd4       G
I just get tangled in the sheets
Em7      C9            D*        Em7
I swim in sweat three inches deep
Em7      C9            D*        G
I just lay back and claim defeat

Chapter  read and lesson learned.

Turn the lights off while she burns.

So while she's 300 degrees,
Em7          C9         D*     Em
I throw the sheets off and I freeze.

C            F                  G
Lid's down, count sheep, count heartbeats
    C               G                     
The only thing that counts is that I
C            F            G
won't sleep Countdown, I look around

C
Who needs sleep
             F6add9
Well you're never gonna get it
C
Who needs sleep
         F6add9
Tell me what's that for
C
Who needs sleep
            F6add9
You have to live with what you're getting
             G
There's a guy's been awake since the second World War


G/B  C  D*  Em7 (X2)


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.

C               F6add9             C             G
So much joy in life so many pleasures all around
         C           F6add9           C             G
But the pleasure of insomnia is one I've never found
      C              F6add9                C            G
With all life has to offer there's so much to be enjoyed
          C            F6add9            C            G
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

C9(hold)
Halla halla halla

Who needs sleep??
Well you're never gonna get it.
Who needs sleep??

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