City And Colour - Sleeping Sickness
Dadd4(9) = x54030
Intro Em | C |G | D/F#||x2
Verse 1
Em C G
I awoke only to find my lungs empty
D/F# Em
And through the night
C G
So it seems I'm not breathing
D/F# Em C G
And now my dreams are nothing like they were meant to be
D/F# Em C G
And I'm breaking down, I think I'm breaking down
D/F# Em C G
And I'm afraid to sleep because of what haunts me
D/F# Em C G
Such as living with the uncertainty
D/F# Em C
That I'll never find the words to say
G D/F#
Which would completely explain
Em C G D/F# N.C.
Just how I'm breaking down
Chorus
Dadd4(9) Em C
Someone come and, someone come and save my life
Dadd4(9) Em
Maybe I'll sleep when I am dead
C
But now it's like the night is taking sides
Dadd4(9) Em C
With all the worries that occupy the back of my mind
Dadd4(9) Em C
Could it be this misery will suffice?
Int Em | C |G | D/F#||x2
Verse 2 [Gordon Downie]
(D/F#) Em C G
I've become a simple souvenir of someone's kill
D/F# Em C G D/F#
And like the sea I'm constantly changing from calm to ill
Em C G D/F#
Madness fills my heart and soul as if the great divide could swallow me whole
Em C G D/F# N.C.
Oh, how I'm breaking down
Chorus
Dadd4(9) Em C
Someone come and, someone come and save my life
Dadd4(9) Em
Maybe I'll sleep when I am dead
C
But now it's like the night is taking sides
Dadd4(9) Em C
With all the worries that occupy the back of my mind
Dadd4(9) Em C
Could it be this misery will suffice?
Dadd4(9)
Ooohhh my life

Outro
Dadd4(9) Em C
Someone come and, someone come and save my life (save my life)
Dadd4(9) Em C
Someone come and, someone come and save my life (save my life)

Someone come and, someone come and save my life
