G I know I've seen your face somewhere
Am Selling something, some big idea
D7 I know I've seen that vacant stare
G Selling sunsets for somebody else
G You find yourself asking yourself
Am What is any of it worth?
D7 You find yourself looking up at night
G From the bottom of the earth
Am D7 G G/F# Em And oh, can this world not afford to sleep anymore
Am D7 And oh, did your sheep start jumping
Bm They grow out their teeth
Em Am D7 Did they need a little something more, than this?

G The taste of trouble on your lips
Am 'Cause now they're bitin' at your thoughts
D7 You tell yourself just to turn away
G But you know you've already lost
G The smell of rain when it's on a wind
Am Can never be paid in full
D7 You try in vain to account for this mess
G And everything that you stole
Am D7 G G/F# Em And oh, can this world not afford to sleep anymore
Am D7 And oh, did your sheep start jumping
Bm They grow out their teeth
Em Am D7 Did they need a little something more, than this?
G 'Cause now they're bitin' at your feet
Am They got you running from this place
D7 And now they're breathing down your neck
G Your eyes look lonely in your face
G I see you looking just out of frame
Am What is it pulling you there?
D7 'Cause things can never the stay the same
G So what is keeping you here?
Am D7 G G/F# Em And oh, can this world not afford to sleep anymore
Am D7 And oh, did your sheep start jumping
Bm They grow out their teeth
Em And need a little something now
Am D7 Every time you think, well they'd be biting at your thoughts
Bm And every time you blink
Em Well you'll be so damn far
Am D7 But you want more, than this
G I know I've seen your face somewhere
