Sleeping Sickness
City And Colour

Intro:
Em - C - G - G/F# - Em - C - G

Verse 1:
G/F# Em C G
I awoke only to find my lungs empty
G/F# Em C G
And through the night so it seems I'm not breathing
G/F# Em C G
And now my dreams are nothing like they were meant to be
G/F# Em C G
And I'm breaking down, I think I'm breaking down

Verse 2:
G/F# Em C G
And I'm afraid to sleep because of what haunts me
G/F# Em C G
Such as living with the uncertainty
G/F# Em C G
That I'll never find the words to say which would completely explain,
G/F# Em C G G/F# (stop!)
Just how I'm breaking down

Chorus:
G Em C
Someone come and, someone come and save my life
G Em
Maybe I'll sleep when I am dead
C
But now it's like the night is taking sides
G Em C
With all the worries that occupy the back of my mind
G Em C
Could it be this misery will suffice?

Em - C - G - G/F# - Em - C - G

Verse 3:
G/F# Em C G
I've become a simple souvenir of someone's kill
G/F# Em C G
And like the sea I'm constantly changing from calm to ill
G/F# Em C G
Madness fills my heart & soul as if the great divide
could swallow me whole
G/F# Em C G G/F# (stop!)
Oh how I'm breaking down
