[Verse 1]
A                 AMaj7        
Receiving department, 3 A.M    
A                 AMaj7                              
Staff cuts have socked up the overage
A                 AMaj7                                           
Directives are posted, no callbacks, complaints
A                 AMaj7             
Everywhere is calm
                                   
C                    Bm
Hong Kong is present, Taipei wakes up
D                E
Talk of circadian rhythm


[Chorus]
A         Bm          F#m     C#m
I see today with a newsprint frame
A         B          E
My night is colored headache-grey
A         Bm          F#m      C#m
Daysleeper, daysleeper
A         B           E
daysleeper

A                 AMaj7                                               
The bull and the bear are marking their territories     
A                 AMaj7                                                   
They're leading the blind with their international glories
C                    Bm                                   
I am the screen, the blinding light
D                E                             
I'm the screen, I work at night

        
[Chorus]
A         Bm          F#m     C#m                                 
I see today with a newsprint fray
A         B          E                                 
My night is colored headache gray
A         Bm          F#m      C#m                         
Don't wake me with so much
A         B          E          
Daysleeper

        
[Bridge]
-(strum all strings except low E)-                       
A                 AMaj7
I cried the other night  
A                 AMaj7                 
I can't even say why     
A                 AMaj7                          
Fluorescent flat caffeine lights
A                 AMaj7                    
It's furious balancing

C                    Bm                                   
I am the screen, the blinding light
D                    E                             
I'm the screen, I work at night
  
     
[Chorus]
A         Bm          F#m     C#m                                   
I see today with a newsprint fray
A         B          E                                 
My night is colored headache gray
A         Bm          F#m     C#m                            
Don't wake me with so 

much
A         Bm          F#m     C#m                                  
The ocean machine is set to nine
A         B          E                                            
I'll squeeze into heaven and Valentine
A         Bm          F#m     C#m                               
My bed is pulling me, gravity
A         B          E                
Daysleeper

Daysleeper
A         B          E                
Daysleeper
