Stay Awake

	  		


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


And all across the nation 
                        A      G 
Pixelated screens light up the night 
       A                        D 
Of insomniacs and night owls alike 

 
            Bm                A 
But we can turn off the lights; the sun's comin' up 
    G                A 
No dreams tonight to interrupt 
     Bm               D            A 
Turn off the alarm before it sounds 
Bm                       A                G     A D 
Get out of bed without putting your head down, down 



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


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


Chorus 

Bridge:
 
G                 D 
Stay awake with me  
       G                 D 
In the darkness you will see  
                Bm     A   G    A    D 
What I've known all along, all along 


Verse 3 

D A G               D 
   Baby when you're sleeping  
                           A  G 
I wonder if you see me in your dreams  
A                          D 
Do you know exactly what it means 
 

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


Chorus then: 

Bm A  G  A   D  
Down, down, down
