🎸 Verse 1:
C F F                         C
  It's like I don't have the patience
                         F     F
Or the willpower to separate myself
          F                       C
From this inundated era I've been dealt



And all across the nation
                        F     F
Pixelated screens light up the night
       F                       C
Of insomniacs and night owls alike

-🎸 Chorus: 
            Am                F
But we can turn off the lights; the sun's comin' up
    F               F
No dreams tonight to interrupt
     Am               C           F
Turn off the alarm before it sounds
Am                       F               F    FC
Get out of bed without putting your head down, down

-🎸 Verse 2:
C F F                   C
  I've been closing my eyes real tight
                                 F        F
But the space between my lids betrays the light
        F                                 C
So I'm up again, I've lost the will to fight


The scrolling information
                          F   F
Pulls me in and holds me in a trance
F                                 C
Link to link, no I don't stand a chance


-Chorus


-🎸 Bridge: 
F                C
Stay awake with me
       F                C
In the darkness you will see
                Am     F  F   F   C
What I've known all along, all along  


-Verse 3 (Quiet strumming):
C FF              C
  Baby when you're sleeping
                           F F
I wonder if you see me in your dreams
F                         C
Do you know exactly what it means

(Louder)

Maybe we are falling
                            F     F
And when I hit the ground I disappear
         F F (single note)
But you open up your eyes and I'm still here


-Chorus, then:

Am F F F C ~
Down, down, down
