Chords with lyrics
♫ Verse 1:
F C F
I pull my eyes like slot machines
C Dm
I do but I never fall asleep
Am Dm C
These sheep I count don't show up anymore, oh
F C F
And a stray cat cries, and wakes the stars
C Dm
The constellations fray the dark
Am Dm C
I toss and turn my demons 'til they're awed, oh
♫ Refrain:
Gm F
'Cause I'm restless for the future
Gm F
And I'm battered by the past
Gm Dm Bb
I'm paralyzed, nocturnal, never crash
♫ Chorus:
Dm Bb F C
'Cause I'm lying in my room
Dm Bb F C
Wishing night birds would come through
Dm Bb F C
And my wings are in my chest
Dm Bb F C
Packs of lonely cigarettes
Dm Bb
Keep waiting for a match to light my soul
F C
I'm lying in my bed 'til blood runs cold
Dm Bb F C
But these night birds move too slow
♫ Verse 2:
F C F
The clock is wrong, I still believe
C Dm
Someday they'll find my batteries
Am Dm C
I think I lost them somewhere deep in hell, yeah
F C F
Some say Neil Armstrong jumped the moon
C Dm
'Cause it never shines a perfect hue
Am Dm C
I wonder if it's fading like myself, yeah
♫ Refrain:
Gm F
'Cause I'm hopeful for a new day
Gm F
But I'm shattered like a glass
Gm Dm Bb
I'm paralyzed, nocturnal, never crash

Dm Bb F C
'Cause I'm lying in my room
Dm Bb F C
Wishing night birds would come through
Dm Bb F C
And my wings are in my chest
Dm Bb F C
Packs of lonely cigarettes
Dm Bb
Keep waiting for a match to light my soul
F C
I'm lying in my bed 'til blood runs cold
Dm Bb F C
But these night birds move too slow

Keep waiting for a match to light my soul
