Am
Spend my nights howling at the moon
Never wake before noon
Dm E
And when the sun it rises
Am G F
Oh, it always rises soon
D E F
'Cause I spend my nights howlin at the moon ('ey)
Am
I never get sleep, sleep, sleep
F
No, I just reach, reach, reach
Dm E
I can feel it on the ends of my fingers
Am G F
And taste it on the tips of my teeth
D E Am
So you see why I never get sleep
Am
Can't get no sleep, don't know why
I Can't get no sleep, don't know why
I Can't get no sleep, no no I
I can't get no sleep
Spend my nights shooting at the stars
Trying to change the world with this guitar
I know it's a long shot
But it's working out so far
so I spend my nights shooting at the stars (hey)
I never get sleep, sleep, sleep
No, I just reach, reach, reach
I can feel it on the ends of my fingers
And taste it on the tips of my teeth
So you see why I never get sleep
Can't get no sleep, don't know why
(Never get sleep)
I Can't get no sleep, don't know why
(Never get sleep)
I Can't get no sleep, no no I
(Never get sleep)
I can't get no sleep
Count sheep!
I already tried!
Drink whiskey!
Makes my throat too dry!
Smoke weed! (Uh-huh)
Makes my eyes all red
Take a pill, Al!
What, and end up dead?
Dm E
I can feel it on the ends of my fingers
Am G F
And taste on the tips of my teeth
D E F
So you see why I never get sleep
Chorus
D E F
So you see why I never get sleep
D E F
So you see why I never get sleep
D E Am
So you see why I never get sleep!
