 K.Flay - Can't Sleep
======================
No capo
[Intro]
C Am Em Em
 C   Am   Em   GN.C.
[Verse 1]
Maybe I've been Cslipping back, heading south, Amcarsick on a Tuesday
EmMissing cash, blacking out, Gheartless in a few ways
CShit for luck, elbows shredded, I Amheld things steady like too late
                              Em    GN.C.
Please calm the fuck down, I'll do whatever you say
  CI get it, I get it, I'm Amliving too hard and it's time that I stop Emit
But rising on up and then Gtumbling down well it's part of the proCcess
Bar tabs on a Amhot night in a cold baseEmment
              N.C.
You say I'm crazy but I feel amazing
[Pre-Chorus]
  CMy mother Amtold me that the Emworld has got its Gplans
  CI wanna Amhold 'em till they Emburn right through my Ghands
  CDon't ask me quesAmtions 'cause I'm  Emtired of confesGsing
                               C           Am                 EmN.C.
  And I know that it's not much to say but I swear that I'd like to change
[Chorus]
I can't Csleep, I hope I stay awakeAm  
'Cause I've been Emrunning, running, running all dayG  
Long Cnights, no peaAmce, I feel like Emeverybody's eyes on meG  
I can't Csleep, I hope I stay awake (Amstay awake)
'Cause I've been Emrunning, running, running all day (Gall day)
Long Cnights (long nights) no peaAmce (no peace) 
I feel like Emeverybody's eyes on me (Gon me)
I can't sCleepAm  Em  G  
I can't sCleep (I can't sleep) I can't sleAmepEm  G  
[Verse 2]
Maybe I've been Cfreaking out, moving quick, Amburning the wick at both ends
EmScreaming loud, stupid shit, sGcaring all of my old friends
CFell down on Bedford, Amhope that it's not broken
                               EmN.C.
Safe to say I might have had too much of some of these potions
   CI love you so muchAm, I'm staying here all night
   EmDon't want to get up, I don't want to sGtop, I don't want to close my eyes
   CI'd rather not give a fuck  Amand end up with some scars
                                        EmN.C.
   The night's just long enough for me to build it all and let it fall apart
[Pre-Chorus]
  CMy mother Amtold me that the Emworld has got its Gplans
  CI wanna Amhold 'em till they Emburn right through my Ghands
  CDon't ask me quesAmtions 'cause I'm  Emtired of confesGsing
                               C           Am                 EmN.C.
  And I know that it's not much to say but I swear that I'd like to change
[Chorus]
I can't Csleep, I hope I stay awakeAm  
'Cause I've been Emrunning, running, running all dayG  
Long Cnights, no peaAmce, I feel like Emeverybody's eyes on meG  
I can't Csleep, I hope I stay awake (Amstay awake)
'Cause I've been Emrunning, running, running all day (Gall day)
