IF ONLY WE COULD SLEEP - Static and Surrender
[Verse 1]
AmYou belong before a judge or jury
Or just someone else who knGows
AmHow to tell you what it's like
To feel this way because I can't find the wGords
AmAble minded men have tried before me
And just fallen off the woGrld
AmNever to be seen again
And now you're off destroying where it hGurts
[Chorus 1]
If only we Fmaj7knew where E7your weak sAmpot was
We'd fAm/Bind and desCtroy it before Dmore lives werFmaj7e lost aE7nd we couAmld sleep
If only we could sGleep
[Verse 2]
AmI've been known to change a line or two
Before I say what's on my mGind
AmLeaving me for dead until you tell me that I'm actually Galive
AmMaybe plans'll change and maybe not
I guess it's on the univGerse
AmBelieve me when I say I'd rather be the one that's driving in the heGarse
[Chorus 2]
If only we Fmaj7knew where E7your weak sAmpot was
We'd fAm/Bind and desCtroy it before Dmore lives werFmaj7e lost aE7nd we couAmld sleep
If only we could sGleep
If only we could sAmleep
If only we could sGleep

IF ONLY WE COULD SLEEP - Static and Surrender

[Verse 1]

You belong before a judge or jury

Or just someone else who knows

How to tell you what it's like

To feel this way because I can't find the words

Able minded men have tried before me

And just fallen off the world

Never to be seen again

And now you're off destroying where it hurts

[Chorus 1]

Fmaj7 E7 Am

If only we knew where your weak spot was

Am/B C D Fmaj7 E7 Am

We'd find and destroy it before more lives were lost and we could sleep

If only we could sleep

[Verse 2]

I've been known to change a line or two

Before I say what's on my mind

Am G

Leaving me for dead until you tell me that I'm actually alive

Maybe plans'll change and maybe not

I guess it's on the universe

Am G

Believe me when I say I'd rather be the one that's driving in the hearse

[Chorus 2]

Fmaj7 E7 Am

If only we knew where your weak spot was

Am/B C D Fmaj7 E7 Am

We'd find and destroy it before more lives were lost and we could sleep

If only we could sleep

[Solo]

Fmaj7 E7 Am

Am/B C D

[Bridge]

Fmaj7 E7

Carefree and careless and careful to stay as such

Am Am/B C D

I never thought it could tug at my strings as much

[Outro]

Fmaj7 E7 Am

And now we don't sleep

If only we could sleep
