As recorded by Say Anything (From the 2009 Album SAY ANYTHING) [Verse 1]
G     A       G              D
Was I born to sink into this couch

                        G                 D
And watch my whole life bleed its purpose out?

G          D              G                 D
Around me, insects follow patterns to their deaths

        G           D           G    D                G
While I waste my precious breath on another second guess
[Chorus]
G           Bm   A
I'm afraid, I'm afraid of sleeping

G       Bm      A                  G
I'm afraid, I'm afraid of sleeping in

G
I feel so dead to the world

     Bm            A
Just tell me where do I begin?

G             Bm       A                  D
Cause I'm afraid, I'm afraid of breathing in
[Verse 2]
D                       A
These nightmares are so weird!

G                                         A
It's like I'm drowning at the bottom of a bottle of beer

        Bm                      D
That my father sips between the humorous quips

       G                            D     Bm
Of the late night comedy news shows he frequents

      D      G         D           Bm
And I wake up with the devil in my sheets

  D                     G                   D
I took to her shoulders asking "was it good for me?"
[Chorus]
G           Bm   A
I'm afraid, I'm afraid of sleeping

G       Bm      A                  G
I'm afraid, I'm afraid of sleeping in

G
I feel so dead to the world

     Bm            A
Just tell me where do I begin?

G             Bm       A                  D
Cause I'm afraid, I'm afraid of breathing in
[Bridge]
N.C.                  G D N.C.                   G D
If only I were present   I could be the president!

N.C.                  G D                            G
If only I were present than I could be the president!
[Guitar Solo] G D A G D Bm D A [Chorus]
G           Bm   A
I'm afraid, I'm afraid of sleeping

G       Bm      A                  G
I'm afraid, I'm afraid of sleeping in

G
I feel so dead to the world

     Bm            A
Just tell me where do I begin?

G             Bm       A                  D
Cause I'm afraid, I'm afraid of breathing in
