Stay Awake by Julia Nunes
A7 D
It's like I don't have the patience,
G
Or the will power to separate myself
D
From this inundating era I've been dealt
A
And all across the nation
D G
Pixelated screens light up the night
A7 D
Of insomniacs and night owls alike
CHORUS:
A7 Em
But we can turn off the lights
A
The sun's coming up
G A
No dreams tonight to interrupt
E G A
Turn off the alarm before it sounds
Em G
And get out of bed without putting your head
Em A D
down, down
A7 D
I've been closing my eyes real tight
G
But the space between my lids betrays the light
A7 D
So I'm up again, I lost the will to fight
D
The scrolling information
G
Pulls me in and holds me in a trance
A7 D
Link to link, no I don't stand a chance
CHORUS:
A7 Em
But we can turn off the lights
A
The sun's coming up
G A
No dreams tonight to interrupt
E G A
Turn off the alarm before it sounds
Em G
And get out of bed without putting your head
Em A D
down, down
G D
Stay awake with me
G D
In the darkness you will see
G D Em A D
What I've known all along, all along along
A D
Baby when you're sleeping
Em
I wonder if you see me in your dreams
A7 D
Do you know exactly what it means
D
Maybe we are falling
G
And when I hit the ground I disappear
A7 D
But you open up your eyes and I'm still here
CHORUS:
A7 Em
But we can turn off the lights
A
The sun's coming up
G A
No dreams tonight to interrupt
E G A
Turn off the alarm before it sounds
Em G
And get out of bed without putting your head
Em A D
down, down
Em A Em A Em A D
Down, down, down
