[Intro]

G C G

C Em D C

G C G

C Em D G

[Verse]

Tie your hands to riot

C G

Speak up to be quiet

C Em D C

Make a list of every debt I owe

Let's line the streets with curses

C G

Then turn them all to torches

C Em D G

I've never felt a loneliness this cold

So send up three more wishes

C G

Count my hits and misses

C Em D C

Bury me in a box with my mistakes

Cause this lonely room's a prison

C G

And these fictional women

C Em D G

They fade away the longer I'm awake

[Chorus]

D Am

Are you busy serving sentences

C G D

To prodigals and priests

Em D C

Drowning in the sea of tears you're crying

D Am

Are you worried that you're happier

C G

At war than at peace

D Em D C Em

Baby are you losing sleep tonight like I am

Em D C G C

Oh are you losing sleep tonight like I am

G C G C Em D C

[Verse]

So you keep making up more reasons

C G

To justify such treason

C Em D C

You can keep my poisoned ashes in your urn

But goddamn these dire visions

C G

And this swimming in religion

C Em D G

You can tell them all you stood and watched me burn

[Chorus]

D Am

Are you busy serving sentences

C G D

To prodigals and priests

Em D C

Drowning in the sea of tears you're crying

D Am

Are you worried that you're happier

At war than at peace

Baby are you losing sleep tonight like I am

Oh are you losing sleep tonight like I am
