VERSE 1:
Bm
Why do I kid myself
Bm
Why do I scream for pleasure
G*               F#           A*     Bm
It's four in the morning should know better
Bm
But she can weave a spell
Bm
Want it to last forever
G*        F#          A*     Bm
Making me feel like somebody special


  CHORUS:
  A                   D/F#      G     A
  Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep)
                     D/F#       G     A
  Before it gets too late (just go to sleep)
                     D/F#        G     A
  Doing damage to my brain (just go to sleep)
                  F
  Well here we go again


VERSE 2:
Though I look everywhere
I never seem to find it
Always a shadow around a corner
Drown it in alcohol
Stuck in the elevator
Hard to remember in the morning


  CHORUS


VERSE 3:
Tell you about myself
If you're in the mood to listen
Baby you don't know who you're kissing
This is a lonely world
You are a strange companion
When you get what you wanted
You want to leave


BRIDGE:
A                  D/F#   G
Honestly I want to free myself
A                  D/F#   G
From the burden of inaction
A                  D/F#   G
Honestly I want to raise myself
A                  D/F#   G
To any plane I can imagine
A                  D/F#   G
Honestly I want to free myself
A                  D/F#   G
From the burden of inaction
A                  D/F#   G
Honestly I want to raise myself
A                  D/F#   G
To any plane I can imagine
