Who Needs Sleep?

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
Continues after the ad
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
