CLight outside my window, why do you keep mC7e up?
I don't think FI can take Fmanother sleepless niCght.
CIf I just had another 20 mC7inutes of darkness FI could finally reFmst my tired mCind
instead of Dmwondering what eGverybody thDminks of me Gand everything Cmaj7I do.
It'd rFeally help me ouFmt if you were tChrough.
CCat outside my window why wont you settle C7down?
I don't think FI can take aFmnother brutal fCight.
CThere must be somewhere else you can make thoC7se awful sounds
and whFy do you wait untFmil I lay down everCy night?
It's Dmreally less aboGut the rest anDmd more about me feeGling in Cmaj7control.
Still, FIt'd really help Fmme out if you could Cgo.
Oh Dmwouldn't you think that by Cnow
