Intro chords: [C - F - G] x4
Verse 1 chords:
C F G C F G
Unaware, the nightmare sleep, on what fodder do they feed?
C F G C F C
For two long weeks I stayed awake, until I saw one cross your face, yeah
Interlude: [Intro chords]x2
Verse 2: [use verse 1 chords]
I knew that you had been untrue, I didn't know how, but I knew, well
Who you spoke to in your dreams, cause never had you spoke to me like that
Unaware, the nightmare sleep, on what fodder do they feed?
I followed them back down to hell, and I spent some time down there myself
Interlude: [Intro chords]x2
Verse 3: [use verse 1 chords]
Nightmares have their dreams as well, when they sleep they go to hell
And they drink their fill on lakes of blood, and canter 'cross their skull-paved mud and
Nurse their little colts on flies, their cultish teeth, like kitchen knives
Look down from abysmal cliffs, they're dead by the lead wind riffed, on
Denizens too deep to see you, on dreams nightmares, nightmares be, yeah
Unaware, the nightmare sleep, on what fodder do they feed?
I'd been awake so long by then, they thought that I was one of them
Interlude: [Intro chords]x4
Verse 4: [use verse 1 chords]
Nightmares cannot be rib-caged, midnight's just a steeple chase down,
Silver needles half will go, pin your navel to your soul and
The other half will go instead, gallop across the kicked up bed and
Find the one who's sleeping sound, and
Drag him down, drag him down
Drag him down, oh drag him down
Drag him down, oh drag him down
Verse 5: [use verse 1 chords]
Drag him down where I got took, and though he may not wanna look
I sift hell for an equal pain, shard-born beetles boiling rain
I prop his eyes and down them feed the same hell he first fed to me, now
I know where the nightmare sleep, on what fodder do they feed?
I followed them back down to hell, I spent some time down there myself
Outro: [use verse 1 chords]
I know where the nightmare sleep
I know where the nightmare sleep
I know where the nightmare sleep
I know where the nightmare sleep
I know where the nightmare sleep
I know where the nightmare sleep
