Sleeping Sickness

   Em
I awoke
    C            G
Only to find my lungs empty
   Em
And through the night
     C               G
So it seems I'm not breathing
      Em                  C       
And now my dreams are nothing like
        G
 they were meant to be
      Em                  C       
And I'm breaking down, I think I'm
        G
 breaking down


     Em
And I'm afraid
     C             G
To sleep because of what haunts me
      Em
Such as living with the uncertainty
        C        G
That I'll never find the words to 
say
  Em           C         G
Which would completely explain
Continues after the ad
  Em           C     G
Just how I'm breaking down


[Chorus]

    D                      Em     
Someone come and, someone come and
       C
 save my life
    D                Em      C
Maybe I'll sleep when I am dead
    D                    Em  
But now it's like the night is 
           C
taking sides
    D                   Em        
With all the worries that occupy 
         C
the back of my mind
 D                 Em      
Could it be this misery will 
   C
suffice?


[Verse]

[Gordon Downie]
      Em
I've become
         C           G
A simple souvenir of someone's kill
       Em
And like the sea
        C              G
I'm constantly changing from calm to
 ill
     Em                        C  
Madness fills my heart and soul as
                    G
 if the great divide could swallow 
me whole
    Em
oh, how I'm breaking down


[Chorus]

oooohhh my life
    D                     Em      
Someone come and, someone come and
       C
 save my life (save my life)
    D                     Em      
Someone come and, someone come and
       C
 save my life (save my life)
    D                     Em      
Someone come and, someone come and
        C
 save my life
     D         Em          C
Could it be this misery will 
suffice?
