[Verse]
Bm          G                          D         Em
No food to eat, all the money's been wasted from last week
Bm           G                        D                  Em
I can't even leave, so I sleep in the basement, making up rap beats
Bm         G                            D                          Em
Hot cup of tea, it's four o'clock in the middle of the night, and I can't sleep
Bm             G                  D                Em
It's all on the peak, so bad I can taste it while it eats me
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
Bm       G               D                Em
How can it be? I still believe something is out there
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
[Verse]
Bm        G               D               Em
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
Bm        G     D                     Em
All the time I sit and try, you think I'd be down
Bm      G                  D                   Em
Every night, I'm sick and why, oh, I'm staying up this time
[Chorus]
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
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
