Electric President - Monsters - Sleep Well (2008)
In through your [F#]window the sky will [Bbm]fall. You'll trap the
[F#]stars in jars and line them along your [Bbm]walls. And as the
[F#]moonlight fills the veins beneath your [Bbm]skin, you'll hear us
[F#]knocking, oh, but you won't let us[Bbm] in.
Cause you've go[Ebm]t no friends,
And you've got n[D]o heartbeat.
Your insides are [Ebm]rotten now.
So there's nothing t[D]o fix.
But you said it [F#]often, before you were [B]lost, that it's only a
[Ebm]day. That it's only [D]a day. But now you're a
[F#]monster, and your backbone is [B]soft. Because you threw it
[Ebm]away. Because you threw it [D]away.
[F#]You called me out; I shrugged you [Bbm]off. I don't have the
[F#]time to watch you bash in all their skulls. Cause there's a new
[F#]boss in town, his heart is black, but his
[Bbm]hands can reach through anything. Stick your
[F#]head in the ground. You might just dodge the [Bbm]guns.
But I'm no[Ebm]t your friend.
And I will not [D]fix you.
My insides are [Ebm]hollow now.
So you're all o[D]n your own. But I said it
[F#]often, before we were [B]lost. That it's only a
[Ebm]day. That it's only [D]a day. But now I'm a
[F#]monster, and my blood all runs [B]cold. Because I threw it
[Ebm]away. Because I threw it [D]away.
(same chords)
But now we've forgotten. And we've sold our blue skies.
But there's nothing to say. We'll be gone in a day.
And yeah, you can't take it with you. But I can sure as hell try.
Now there's nothing to say. I'll be gone in a day.
