Intro: Am

Verse 1:
    Am
The kettle can whisper, the kettle can shout

The pills can pull but they always give out
G
Nothing can take me, less keeps me there
       Am                E         Am
'Cause sleep is a beast, polar and bare

Verse 2:
Am
Tossing and turning, awake in the night

Helplessly burning up in candlelight
G
Holding on tightly to all that is real
       Am                       E           Am
'Cause when the dark falls I'll burn what I feel

Chorus:
Dm Am   E       Am
I don't think I know
Dm     Am   E          Am

Dm Am  E       Am
I just made my bed
Dm     Am      E       Am
On the storm inside my head

Verse 3:
Am

G

Am                  E              Am
Maybe the lock will break and make free

Chorus:
Dm Am   E       Am
I don't think I know
Dm     Am   E          Am
How to rest mellow and slow
Dm Am  E       Am
I just made my bed
Dm     Am      E       Am
On the storm inside my head

Bridge:
C         G     Dm     Am
Hours and hours in the day
Dm     Am     E7  Am
Rest I spend awake
C         G     Dm     Am
Hours and hours in the night
Dm       Am     E7     Am
It's the rest I try to fight

Chorus:
Dm Am   E       Am
I don't think I know
Dm     Am   E          Am
How to rest mellow and slow
Dm Am  E       Am
I just made my bed
Dm     Am      E
On the storm inside my...
