IF ONLY WE COULD SLEEP - Static and Surrender
[Verse 1]
Am
You belong before a judge or jury
G
Or just someone else who knows
Am
How to tell you what it's like
G
To feel this way because I can't find the words
Am
Able minded men have tried before me
G
And just fallen off the world
Am
Never to be seen again
G
And now you're off destroying where it hurts
[Chorus 1]
Fmaj7 E7 Am
If only we knew where your weak spot was
Am/B C D Fmaj7 E7 Am
We'd find and destroy it before more lives were lost and we could sleep
G
If only we could sleep
[Verse 2]
Am
I've been known to change a line or two
G
Before I say what's on my mind
Am G
Leaving me for dead until you tell me that I'm actually alive
Am
Maybe plans'll change and maybe not
G
I guess it's on the universe
Am G
Believe me when I say I'd rather be the one that's driving in the hearse
[Chorus 2]
Fmaj7 E7 Am
If only we knew where your weak spot was
Am/B C D Fmaj7 E7 Am
We'd find and destroy it before more lives were lost and we could sleep
G
If only we could sleep
Am
If only we could sleep
G
If only we could sleep
[Solo]
Fmaj7 E7 Am
Am/B C D
[Bridge]
Fmaj7 E7
Carefree and careless and careful to stay as such
Am Am/B C D
I never thought it could tug at my strings as much
[Outro]
Fmaj7 E7 Am
And now we don't sleep
G
If only we could sleep
Am
If only we could sleep
G
If only we could sleep
