[Intro]
G Am D7 D7sus2 G
[Verse]
G
I know I’ve seen your face somewhere
Am
Selling something, some big idea
D7 D7sus2
I know I’ve seen that vacant stare
G
Selling sunsets for somebody else
[Verse]
G
You find yourself asking yourself
Am
What is any of it worth?
D7 D7sus2
You find yourself looking up at night
G
From the bottom of the earth
[Chorus]
Am D7 G G/F# E
And oh, can this world not afford to sleep anymore
Am D7
And oh, did your sheep start jumping
Bm
They grow out their teeth
E Am D7
Did they need a little something more, than this?
[Verse]
G
The taste of trouble on your lips
Am
‘Cause now they’re bitin’ at your thoughts
D7 D7sus2
You tell yourself just to turn away
G
But you know you’ve already lost
[Verse]
G
The smell of rain when it’s on a wind
Am
Can never be paid in full
D7 D7sus2
You try in vain to account for this mess
G
And everything that you stole
[Chorus]
Am D7 G G/F# E
And oh, can this world not afford to sleep anymore
Am D7
And oh, did your sheep start jumping
Bm
They grow out their teeth
Em Am D7
Did they need a little something more, than this?
[Verse]
G
‘Cause now they’re bitin’ at your feet
Am
They got you running from this place
D7 D7sus2
And now they’re breathing down your neck
G
Your eyes look lonely in your face
[Verse]
G
I see you looking just out of frame
Am
What is it pulling you there?
D7 D7sus2
‘Cause things can never the stay the same
G
So what is keeping you here?
[Chorus]
Am D7 G G/F# E
And oh, can this world not afford to sleep anymore
Am D7
And oh, did your sheep start jumping
Bm
They grow out their teeth
E
And need a little something now
[Chorus]
Am D7
Every time you think, well they’d be biting at your thoughts
Bm
And every time you blink
E
Well you’ll be so damn far
Am D7
But you want more, than this
[Outro]
G
I know I’ve seen your face somewhere
