Band: Barenaked Ladies Tabbed by: Ben Evans Intro: G C D G G C D G G C D G Now I lay me down not to sleep G C D G I just get tangled in the sheets G C D G I swim in sweat three inches deep G C D G I just lay back and claim defeat G C D G G C D G Chapter read and lesson learned I turned the lights off while she burned So while she's three hundred degrees I throw the sheets off and I freeze Pre-Chorus: Em Am Lids down, I count sheep D I count heartbeats The only thing that counts is Em that I won't sleep Am D I countdown, I look around Chorus: G Who needs sleep? C Well you're never gonna get it G Who needs sleep? C Tell me what's that for G Who needs sleep? C Be happy with what you're getting D There's guys been awake since the Second World War (repeat) G C D G G C D G My hands are locked up tight in fists My mind is racing filled with lists Of things to do and things I've done Another sleepless night's begun Pre-Chorus Chorus Bridge: C G C G So much joy in life so many pleasures all around C G C G But the pleasure of insomnia is one I've never found C G C G With all life has to offer there's so much to be enjoyed C G C G But the pleasures of insomnia are ones I can't avoid Pre-Chorus Hala Hala Hala Chorus (repeat twice)
