Verse 1:
Fm7        Dbadd9   Ab       Ab
I   should be   in bed
        Fm7     Dbadd9   Ab       Ab
But I'm sitting here instead
       Db6      Eb       Ab       Ab
With a stomach full of dread
      Db6      Eb       Ab       Ab
And a list of words unsaid

Verse 2:
Db          Eb        Ab      Ab
Maybe if I finish this boxset
          Db              Eb              Ab       Bbm7
I'll have figured out a way to clear my student debt
Db            Eb                 Ab        Bbm7
Maybe by the time the morning rears its head
          Db            Dbm              Ab      Ab
I'll feel ready to get up and face the world again

Verse 3:
       Fm7        Eb               Db       Db
But my dreams are always cruel to me
       Fm7            Eb           Bbm7     Db
All my worst fears, unfolding in HD
     Fm7            Eb                        Db       Db
And I dread all the thoughts that the nights bring
      Fm7           Eb                    Bbm7     Db
I'm not safe 'til I hear those songbirds sing, please sing

Verse 4:
         Ab             Db     Ab        Db
You have watched the sunrise too many times
           Ab         Db         Ab         Db
It doesn't move you
         Fm7           Eb      Bbm7      Db
You have watched the sunrise  too many times
           Ab
It doesn't move you
