Verse 1:

C  C/B         Em             C
   Here we go again, it's 4am
        C/B                   Em
And I'm punching on the pillows
C  C/B        Em                             C
   I can't pretend, reach for my phone again

And just wait for tomorrow

Pre-Chorus 1:

Am   C               F              C   C/B
   I wish I felt so alive in the daytime
Am         C                     F
   But the rats only come out at night
   G
To scurry around my mind

Chorus 1:

  C    C/B  Am
Insomnia, Insomnia
Bb   F          C
My recurring nightmare

Insomnia, got me prisoner
Bb F      C      G
In my own head

C           C/B        Em
  Have I forgotten to sleep?
Or am I sick?
C        C/B          Em
  Or is this just a dream?
C          C/B                 Em
   Another smoke, another drink
Another anything
C         C/B                  Em
   I just gotta get through this

Pre-Chorus:

Am            C              F
   And I'm so tired of being tired
               C    C/B
I'm going crazy
Am          C            F
   I'm too tired to even sleep
            G
Can someone save me from

Chorus 2:

C       C/B  Am
Insomnia, Insomnia
Bb   F           C
My recurring nightmare
C       C/B      Am
Insomnia, got me prisoner
Bb F      G
In my own head

Bridge:

Am           G
I claw at my eyes
               F             D
I wish I could hide from you
Am                G
I'm on fire & I'm cramped
                    F                             D
And I wish that the silence would shut the fuck up
C           C/B              C/Bb
I crash & I burn, I toss & I turn
        C/A     G
I beg & I yearn
         Fm
For just one nights sleep

Chorus 3:

C          C/B  Am
But Insomnia, Insomnia
Bb F                       C
     You fucking nightmare
C       C/B           Am
Insomnia, you give me nausia
Bb     F        G
When I think of you
C           E     Am
Insomnia, Insomnia
F  Fm               C
     I love you too.
