[Intro] G Am D7 D7sus2 G [Verse 1]
                              G
I know I’ve seen your face somewhere

                            Am
Selling something, some big idea

                             D7    D7sus2
I know I’ve seen that vacant stare

                     G  
Selling sunsets for somebody else

                            G
You find yourself asking yourself

                  Am
What is any of it worth?

                           D7         D7sus2
You find yourself looking up at night

                       G
From the bottom of the earth
[Chorus 1]
    Am            D7                  G   G/F#   E 
And oh, can this world not afford to sleep anymore

    Am            D7                  
And oh, did your sheep stop jumping

     Bm
They grow out their teeth

         E                        Am         D7
Did they need a little something more, than this?
[Verse 2]
                            G
The taste of trouble on your lips

                                  Am
‘Cause now they’re bitin’ at your thoughts

                          D7        D7sus2
You tell yourself just to turn away

                             G
But you know you’ve already lost

                            G 
The smell of rain with the song of wind

                      Am   
Can never be paid in full

                           D7            D7sus2
You try in vain to account for this mess

                         G
And everything that you stole
[Chorus 2]
    Am            D7                  G   G/F#   E 
And oh, can this world not afford to sleep anymore

    Am            D7                  
And oh, did your sheep stop jumping

     Bm
They grow out their teeth

         Em                        Am         D7
Did they need a little something more, than this?
[Verse 3]
                                  G            
‘Cause now they’re bitin’ at your feet

                               Am
They got you running from this place

                                    D7   D7sus2
And now they’re breathing down your neck

                             G
Your eyes look lonely in your face

                       G        
I see you looking just out of frame

                       Am
What is it pulling you there?

                                     D7   D7sus2
‘Cause things can never the stay the same

                       G
So what is keeping you here?
[Chorus 3]
    Am            D7                  G   G/F#     E 
And oh, can this world not afford to sleep anymore

    Am            D7                  
And oh, did your sheep stop jumping

     Bm
They grow out their teeth

    E
And need a little something now

Am                                   D7
Every time you think, well they’d be biting at your thoughts

    Bm                                   
And every time you blink

               E
Well you’ll be so damn far

              Am         D7
But you want more, than this
[Outro]
                              G
I know I’ve seen your face somewhere
