Barenaked Ladies- Who Needs Sleep?
G C D Em
G C D G
Now I lay me down not to sleep
G C D G
I just get tangled in the sheets
Em C D Em
I swim in sweat three inches deep
Em C D G
I just lay back and claim defeat
G C D Em (slow)
G C D G
Chapter read and lesson learned.
G C D G
Turn the lights off while she burns.
Em C D Em
So while she's 300 degrees,
Em C D Em
I throw the sheets off and I freeze.
Chorus
Am F G
Lid's down, count sheep, count heartbeats
Am G Am
The only thing that counts is that I won't sleep
F G
Countdown, I look around
C
Who needs sleep
F
Well you're never gonna get it
C
Who needs sleep
F
Tell me what's that for
C
Who needs sleep
F
You have to live with what you're getting
G
There's a guy's been awake since the second World War
Repeat from ?Who needs sleep??
G C D Em
G C D G
My hands are locked up tight in fists
G C D G
My mind is racing, filled with lists
Em C D Em
of things to do and things I've done
Em C D Em
Another sleepless night's begun.
Chorus
C G C G
So much joy in life so many pleasures all around
C G C G
But the pleasure of insomnia is one I've never found
C G C G
With all life has to offer there's so much to be enjoyed
C G C G
But the pleasures of insomnia are ones I can't avoid
Chorus
