We Are Sick

	  		 



G                    D   G 
I wake up but I don’t go out 

            D                  G 
I sit and I sit and I lay back down 

       Am 
Will I be there for a long time? 

G           D 
And were my eyes only half way closed?  

      G 
Did I see you in the doorway ? 

D                             Am 
Making sure I was sleeping so soft?  


And keeping so still 

                 C  
And I never made a sound, 

                   Am               C 
But if you weren’t there to hold me down. 

Em                        G 
Loving you was never hard to do,  

            D                        C 
But I’m sick and they’re coming to get me soon 

        Em                     G 
If they never bring me back to you,  

                     D 
Will you tell me the truth?  


Will you tell me the truth?  

C                         G 
Would someone tell me the truth? 



D                         G 
I walk around but I don’t breathe out 

  D 
I stumble like a child and I fall to the ground  

                      Am   Em 
Will I be there for a long time? 

     Am   D     Em 
Will I be there for a long time? 

C          D                       G 
And did my thoughts only make me numb?  

                       D 
Did I pretend to be normal, 

                  C          Am  
Making sure I was keeping in line? 

               Em  
And keeping so still 

      C  
And I never made a sound, 

       G                    Am  
But if you weren’t there to hold me down 

Em                        G 
Loving you was never hard to do, 

            D                       C  
But I’m sick and they’re coming to get me soon  

        Em                     G 
If they never bring me back to you, 

                     D  
Will you tell me the truth?  

                     C 
Will you tell me the truth?  

                                   G     Em 
Would someone tell me the truth? 

C                                  G     Em 
Would someone tell me the truth? 

C                                  G     Em 
Would someone tell me the truth? 

C                                  G     Em 
Would someone tell me the truth? 

                  C 
I was sleeping so soft 

  
And keeping so still  

                   D 
And I never made a sound,  


But if you weren’t there to hold me down. 

       Em 
I'm in line 

   
And keeping so still   

                   D 
And I never made a sound 

                            C 
But if you weren't there to hold me down 

G                         D 
Loving you was never hard to do, 

               Bm                   D  
But I’m sick and they’re coming to get me soon.  

                    G       C 
If they never bring me back to you, 

  
Will you tell me the truth?  

         G           D       C 
Will you tell me the truth?  

    Am                             G 
And holding on was all that I could do,  

          D                                C 
But I’m sick and they’re is nothing here left for you.  

           Em                       G 
And if you hear me from behind your pews  

                     D 
Will you tell me the truth?  

                     C 
Will you tell me the truth? 

                          G 
Would someone tell me the truth?
