I Could Sleep (The Wuss Song)
Letters to Cleo
[1st verse]
A F#m
It's okay that you forget
Dm C#m E
It's alright that you don't wanna remember
A F#m
In your hands you've got a martyr's head
Dm C#m E
In your mind, I know that's what you wish you were
[1st chorus]
D E
Turn my blue sky black
A G#m F#m D
You're such a hard luck baby, yeah
E C#m F#m E
That's what's the matter with you
D E
But I could sleep through this
[2nd verse]
A F#m
I am mystified as I am in it
Dm C#m E
If that's your ride, well then you ought to get it
A F#m
It's just as if I wasn't dreaming
Dm C#m E
It's all the same, 'cause I still wake up screaming
[2nd chorus]
D E
Turn my blue sky black
A G#m F#m D
You're such a hard luck baby, yeah
E C#m F#m E
That's what's the matter with you
D E
But I could sleep through this
