Verse 1 Chords:
G+G C majorC E minorEm D MajorD G-C-G
These hammers and strings Been following me around
G+G C majorC E minorEm D MajorD G+G C majorC E minorEm
From a box filled garage To the dark punk rock clubs Of 1000 American towns
G+G C majorC
And my friend calls me up,
E minorEm D MajorD G+G C majorC
he says, "how have you been?" I say, "dear I've been well,
E minorEm D MajorD G+G C majorC
Yeah the money's coming But I miss you like hell.
E minorEm D MajorD G-C-G C majorC
I still hear you in this old piano, oh yeah."
Verse 2 Chords: Same as Verse 1
She says, "Andy, I know That we don't talk as much
But I still hear your ghost in these old punk rock clubs
Come on, write me a song, give me something to trust
Just promise you won't let it be, just the keys that you touch."
Chorus:
G+G D MajorD
Give me something to believe in, a breath from the breathing
E minorEm C majorC
So write it down, I don't think that I'll close my eyes
G+G D MajorD
'Cause lately I'm not dreaming, so what's the point in sleeping?
E minorEm C majorC
It's just that at night, I've got nowhere to hide
G-C-G G-C-G
So I write you a lullaby A augmentedA lullaby
Verse 3 Chords: Same as Verse 1
These hammers and strings Been following me around
Behind passenger vans Through the snow, dirt, and sands
Of 1000 American towns.
And my friend calls me up With her heart heavy still She says,
"Andy, the doctors Prescribed me the pills. But I know I'm not crazy.
I just lost my will. So why am I, why am I taking them still?"
Chorus:
I need something to believe in
A augmentedA breath from the breathing
So write it down,
I don't think that I'll close my eyes
'Cause lately I'm not dreaming
So what's the point in sleeping?
It's just that at night,
I've got nowhere to hide
Post-Chorus:
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
To the sleepless, this is my reply:
G+G E minorEm C majorC D MajorD G+G E minorEm C majorC
I will write you a lullaby, A augmentedA lullaby.

D MajorD G+G
Give me something to believe in,
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
So write it down, I don't think that I'll close my eyes
G+G C majorC
'Cause lately I'm not dreaming, so what's the point in sleeping?
E minorEm C majorC
It's just that at night, I've got nowhere to hide
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
