Bm G D Em

No food to eat, all the money's been wasted from last week

I can't even leave, so I sleep in the basement, making up rap beats

Hot cup of tea, it's four o'clock in the middle of the night, and I can't sleep

Bm G D Em

How can I sleep if I don't have dreams? I just have nightmares

Bm G D Em

How can it be? I still believe something is out there

Bm G D Em

Some part of me feels a little bit naked and empty

Bm G D Em

I'm stuck underneath a few dirty old blankets to comfort me

[Chorus]

Bm G D Em

How can I sleep if I don't have dreams? I just have nightmares

And there's a light, and I can see why I'm still alive

Bm G D Em

Mommy won't lie, cause if she did, I would've died

All the time I sit and try, you think I'd be down

Every night, I'm sick and why, oh, I'm staying up this time
