Intro: G  Am  D  G 

verse 1 
                              G 
I know I’ve seen your face somewhere 
                            Am 
Selling something, some big idea 
                             D 
I know I’ve seen that vacant stare 
                     G   
Selling sunsets for somebody else 

                            G 
You find yourself asking yourself 
                  Am 
What is any of it worth? 
                           D 
You find yourself looking up at night 
                       G 
From the bottom of the earth 

    Am            D                   G   G/F#     Em  
And oh, can this world not afford to sleep anymore 
    Am            D                    
And oh, did your sheep start jumping 
     Bm 
They grow out their teeth 
         Em                       Am         D 
Did they need a little something more, than this? 

verse 2 
                            G 
The taste of trouble on your lips 
                                  Am 
‘Cause now they’re bitin’ at your thoughts 
                          D       
You tell yourself just to turn away 
                             G 
But you know you’ve already lost 

                             G  
The smell of rain when it’s on a wind 
                      Am    
Can never be paid in full 
                           D  
You try in vain to account for this mess 
                         G 
And everything that you stole 
 
    Am            D                   G   G/F#     Em  
And oh, can this world not afford to sleep anymore 
    Am            D                    
And oh, did your sheep start jumping 
     Bm 
They grow out their teeth 
         Em                       Am         D 
Did they need a little something more, than this? 

verse 3 
                                  G             
‘Cause now they’re bitin’ at your feet 
                               Am 
They got you running from this place 
                                    D 
And now they’re breathing down your neck 
                             G 
Your eyes look lonely in your face 

                       G         
I see you looking just out of frame 
                       Am 
What is it pulling you there? 
                                     D  
‘Cause things can never the stay the same 
                       G 
So what is keeping you here? 

    Am            D                   G   G/F#     Em  
And oh, can this world not afford to sleep anymore 
    Am            D                    
And oh, did your sheep start jumping 
     Bm 
They grow out their teeth 
    Em 
And need a little something now 

Am                                   D 
Every time you think, well they’d be biting at your thoughts 
    Bm                                    
And every time you blink 
               Em 
Well you’ll be so damn far 
              Am         D 
But you want more, than this 

Outro 
                              G 
I know I’ve seen your face somewhere
