[Intro] C# D D Am G D [Verse 1]
D          Am
It seems I spend my days now

G                D
Lost in veils of sleep.

D          Am
Trapped in slumber's grasp,

  G                  D
Nowhere that I could be.

D         Am
I grew so goddamned tired

G                      D
Fighting against these chains.

D        Am
No signs of release

   G              D
Or payment for my pains.
[Chorus]
F           C
I know that I must try to

Am                 G
Break out of this cell I call my life.

F        C                Am
To go to sleep is just to hide away.

F          C
I close my eyes so I won't

Am                 G
See the things I'd have to try to get.

F         C                Am
I haven't tried, I've only turned away.
[Verse 2]
D     Am
In my sleeping world

G                    D
I thought that I was safe.

D         Am
Free from all the pain

    G                D
And burning light of day.

D        Am
And even in my sleep now

G                 D
Life is less than kind.

D    Am
No escaping from

     G             D
This madness in my mind.
[Chorus]
F           C
I know that I must try to

Am                 G
Break out of this cell I call my life.

F        C                Am
To go to sleep is just to hide away.

F          C
I close my eyes so I won't

Am                 G
See the things I'd have to try to get.

F         C                Am
I haven't tried, I've only turned away.
[Outro]
D       C       C    Em
Wasting my life away in sleep.

C    Em B Am
 Severing.
