Intro: Em - C - G - G Em - C - G Verse: G Em C G G Em I awoke only to find my lungs empty and through the night C G G Em so it seems I'm not breathing and now my dreams C G are nothing like they were meant to be G Em C G and I'm breaking down, i think I'm breaking down G Em C G and I'm afraid to sleep because of what haunts me G Em C G such as living with the uncertainty G Em C that I'll never find the words to say G G Em C G G which would completely explain, just how I'm breaking down Chorus: Gm Em C someone come, someone come and save my life Gm Em maybe I'll sleep when I am dead C but now it's like the night is taking sides Gm Em C and all the worries that occupy the back of my mind Gm Em C could it be this misery will suffice? Interlude: Em - C - G - G Em - C - G Verse: G Em C G G Em I've become a simple souvenir of someone's kill and like the sea C G G I'm constantly changing from calm to ill Em C madness fills my heart and soul G G Em as if the great divide could swallow me whole C G G oh how I'm breaking down Chorus: Gm Em C someone come, someone come and save my life Gm Em maybe I'll sleep when I am dead C but now it's like the night is taking sides Gm Em C and all the worries that occupy the back of my mind Gm Em C could it be this misery will suffice?

4 ukulele chords used in "Sleeping Sickness" by City and Colour: C, Em, G and Gm
is it just me, or does the Gm-chord sound kind of wrong? maybe it’s just me, i don’t know. still, great song!
I’ve been playing D instead of Gm, and think it sounds way better.
I play a G instead of Gm, it works and sounds better in my opinion
I play Gm, but open on the bottom string. Sounds different from the original but I like the progression into the next chords!
