Taken By Sleep

[Intro] G  C  Em  D

[First Part]

G
It just hit me as I lay my head down
C
No one around in the dark cold night
 I hear a sound
Em
In my head, repeat track of 
everything you've ever said
D
Must be something, but it's nothing,
 so I just go back to bed
G
It's four, crack the door to the 
hallway in my dreams
C
But it seems that my hallway keeps 
closing in on me
Em
Forcing me out, making me think 
about you and how you're gone
D
I see four-o-five with teary eyes 
and then I write this song

[Chorus]

G
And I just can't believe it has to 
be this way
C
You know we say it seems to me that 
it was just the other day
Em
I saw your face and saw your light, 
you ran the race you fought the 
fight
D
But now It's just being torn down 
for me tonight
G
And I know it might be a little 
selfish for me to say

C
But I need to know if you thought of
 me at all today
Em
'Cause every day I walk past the 
place you left five days of the week
D
And now it's ten after four, and I 
am taken by sleep

[Second Part]

G
Spending hours on end, deciding on 
what
C
I'd say to a friend if I ever saw 
him again
Em
'Cause I don't know if I know, don't
 wanna come across the wrong way
D
And I don't know if I know, but I 
know I want to see your face today
G
Somebody told me that they saw you 
cry and break down
C
Do you know how hard that is to get 
around and think about?
Em
It's not like you to let emotions 
get the best of things
D
Especially when everything is 
hanging in the air we breathe

[Chorus]

G
And I just can't believe it has to 
be this way
C
You know we say it seems to me that 
it was just the other day
Em
I saw your face and saw your light, 
you ran the race you fought the 
fight
D
But now It's just being torn down 
for me tonight
G
And I know it might be a little 
selfish for me to say
C
But I need to know if you thought of
 me at all today
Em
'Cause every day I walk past the 
place you left five days of the week
D
And now it's ten after four, and I 
am taken by sleep

[Bridge]

G                C
And I'll sing a song to you my 
friend
Em           D
I'll sing a song to you my friend
G            C
I'll sing a song to you my friend
Em           D
I'll sing a song to you my... let's 
go!
G    C    Em   D
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
G                C
And I'll sing a song to you my 
friend
Em           D
I'll sing a song to you my friend

( G  C  Em  D )
