Capo 1
Intro:
[G]
Verse 1:
[G]So you shake through the night,
[Em]Tucked under the covers tightly.
There?s [C]monsters in the shadows and [D]zombies in the street lights.[G]
And the [G]sounds from the street
Like some [Em]terrible cacophony
It [C]cuts through the walls of your [D]bedroom and haunts your dreams.
Pre-Chorus 1:
But [D]don?t y[G]ou cry[C],
I?d s[Em]ing you a lullaby[D],
But by[D] and by it?s a w[C]aste of time,
Take a spoon[Em]ful to settle your [C]mind.
[C]And I wish you goodnight.[D]
Chorus:
[G]Lock out all your demons
With w[D]hite noise, pills and Jesus,
And w[Em]hen I get down, I just [C]turn off the lights.[D]
[G]I find friends and love with some
[D]Online sex and reruns
[Em] [C]
And when I get down, I just turn off the light, the li[D]ght, the lights.
Verse 2 (same chords as verse 1):
When you?re lost and confused,
But you?re too proud to face the truth,
Spend up all your money on a bandaid to cover the wound.
When you suck at life
And you?re much to scared to die
Embrace the sweet indifference with your brothers and we?ll march in time, time, time.
Pre-Chorus 2 (same Pre-Chorus 1)
But why so stressed?
Do you feel like the world?s a mess?
Well grab what you can from my medicine chest and all your worst fears supressed
Chorus x2
