Standard (EADGBE)

First Verse:

I'd be hanging on their words

Like they almost meant a thing

In the only lullaby I heard, The sirens blaring,

Am (these Am's may be replaced with an Asus if desired)

singing me to sleep

On the softness of her laugh,

I could almost make my bed

But the racket of her absence join

The sirens blaring, ringing in my head

Holding nothing tight, holding nothing tight

With my eyes so wide

Chorus

In a house without a back door

I was looking for a fire escape

And I'll be ripping up the floorboards

Just trying to get away

From this sleeplessness, Sleeplessness, sleeplessness

Second Chorus:

She'd be hanging on my words like I almost meant a thing

And I'd give anything not to let her down

to finally sleep through just one noisy night

But my eyes are wide

Chorus

(same as before)

In a house without a back door

I was looking for a fire escape

And I'll be ripping up the floorboards

Just trying to get away

From this sleeplessness, Sleeplessness, sleeplessness

Bridge

'Cause my mind just can't stop moving, I think I know why

Oooh, I know why

It's sad, but I'm a sucker for a kind word

And I'll just hurt until I find one

I'll just hurt until I find one

And I've been trying all the windows

And I've been running up the staircase

In a house without a back door...

Sleeplessness, sleeplessness, sleeplessness

Chorus
