Verse 1:
Dbm             E               Gbm         Ab
It's the same, each and every night
Dbm          E                    Gbm                Ab
Glare at my screen with two big bloodshot eyes
 
Pre-chorus:
    A            Gbm
I'm stuck self torturing
Dbm          E
My meds are failing me
A           Gbm
Internal clock in smithereens
Dbm             Ab
Can't fix this, I'm hopeless
 
Chorus 1:
Dbm
My eyes are stapled opened wide
A
As I lay down on my side
Gbm                      Ab
I am bouncing off these walls
 
Verse 2:
Dbm         E              Gbm             Ab
Notice my hands begin to twitch
Dbm         E                  Gbm             Ab
Unprovoked assaulting of my conscious wit
 
Dbm          E       Gbm
Me and the TV are enemies
            Ab                   Dbm
Sickening static surrounds my mind
            E            Gbm
I'm losing time and realizing that
       Ab
After days of thought
 
Pre-chorus:
    A            Gbm
I'm stuck self torturing
Dbm           E
My meds are failing me
A           Gbm
Internal clock in smithereens
Dbm             Ab
Can't fix this, I'm hopeless
 
Chorus 1:
Dbm
My eyes are stapled opened wide
A
As I lay down on my side
Gbm                     Ab
I am bouncing off these walls
 
Chorus 2:
Dbm                      A
As I focus on the clock, time stands still but I can not
Gbm
I should strap myself in bed
Ab
I guess I'll sleep when I am dead
 
Bridge:
Dbm
Talk to myself,
E          Gbm            Ab
Lie in the darkness so content
A
As the Sun begins to rise
B
I can barely shut my eyes
Dbm                     E
This crazed delirious mess
            Gbm           Ab
Laughing at everything I see
A
My sanity is spent
B
Just tell me where my time went
(nc)
I'm losing it
 
(nc)
Attention:
(nc)
All insomniacs please raise your right hand
(nc)
And kindly repeat after me
(nc)
I guess I'll sleep when I am dead
 
Pre-chorus:
         A               Gbm
Cause I'm stuck self torturing
Dbm            E
My meds are failing me
A           Gbm
Internal clock in smithereens
Dbm             Ab
Can't fix this, I'm hopeless
 
Chorus 1:
Dbm
My eyes are stapled opened wide
A
As I lay down on my side
Gbm                      Ab
I am bouncing off these walls
 
Chorus 2:
Dbm                      A
As I focus on the clock, time stands still but I can not
Gbm
I should strap myself in bed
Ab
I guess I'll sleep when I am dead

I guess I'll sleep when I am
