Verse 1: G Sometimes I like to lay in bed and pretend like I died D/F# Sometimes I stay like that until the day becomes night G Then I crank myself up and I set loose to fly C Like a bunch of restless D bats finally coming to life G And the places are the same but the faces are new D/F# And my own face is somewhere between yellow and blue Em And I'm pressing my luck just to see if I can C And I'm betting my soul DD and I'm losing again
