Or the willpower to separAate mysGelf
From this Ainundated era I've been dDealt
And all across the nation
Pixelated screens light Aup the Gnight
Of insoAmniacs and night owls aliDke
[Chorus]
But we can tBmurn off the lightsA; the sun's comin' up
No dGreams tonight to Ainterrupt
Turn Bmoff the alarm befDore it soundsA  
BmGet out of bed without puAtting your head dGown, dAowDn

  D    A  GI've been closing my Deyes real tight
But the space between my lids betArays the lGight
So I'm uAp again, I've lost the will to fighDt
The scrolling information
Pulls me in and holds me iAn a tGrance
ALink to link, no I don't stand a chDance

[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

[Chorus]

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]

Bm A

But we can turn off the lights; the sun's comin' up

No dreams tonight to interrupt

In the darkness you will see

Bm A G A D

What I've known all along, all along

[Verse 3] (Quiet strumming)

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

(Louder)

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]

Bm A

But we can turn off the lights; the sun's comin' up

G A

No dreams tonight to interrupt
