To Get To Sleep chords by British Sea Power

Verse 1

       A                        E
Took a pill last night, just to get to sleep
       D               E
Put me on my back, not on my feet
A         E
Propylene across your eyes
   D              E
To take me to the land of sighs

Verse 2

      A                         E
Had a drink last night, just to get to sleep
       D                      E
Put me on my back, knocked me off my feet
A                   E
Filled my skin with ethanol
   D                   E
To find some peace, to let it fall

Chorus

(E)           A   Bm               E
Eight hours a day - call it twenty years
                        A
There's a place you can go
        Bm                 E
Free of lust, cupidity and fear

A          E
Oh it left my heart broken
D          E
It took my breath away
A        E
A little lesson open
D        E
A little more each day
         A  E
A little eyesore
         D  E
A little Nytol
         A    E
A little heartache
         D      E
A little soothe-all

Verse 3

A            E            D                 E
Melatonin, a little dose, takes things to a peaceful close
A             E
Commerce runs through your veins
    D                   E
And takes you from this waking plane
A        E
Industry on your side
   D                    E
To do what you do, when you get tired
