City and Colour – Sleeping Sickness [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] Dadd4add9 Em C Someone come and, someone come and save my life Dadd4add9 Em Maybe I’ll sleep when I am dead C But now it’s like the night is taking sides Dadd4add9 Em C With all the worries that occupy the back of my mind Dadd4add9 Em C Could it be this misery will suffice? [Interlude] |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] Dadd4add9 Em C Someone come and, someone come and save my life Dadd4add9 Em Maybe I’ll sleep when I am dead C But now it’s like the night is taking sides Dadd4add9 Em C With all the worries that occupy the back of my mind Dadd4add9 Em C Could it be this misery will suffice?
