D 
Run around the spiral it's our choice now, 
Up or down, days can seem so long 
Holy ghost, I'm living with your voice now 
       B            G                        D 
But tonight, I'm sleeping with my television on 
Come tomorrow there'll be hell to pay and clouds across the sun 



D 
You were right I've always been a sinner 
You were right I've wasted all your time 
You said it all, "We drank too much at dinner." 
      B           G                        D 
So tonight I'm sleeping with my television on 
Come tomorrow there'll be hell to pay and clouds across the sun 


D 
You and I baby we're a broken record. 
Turn around we're making sound but only for the noise 
And what if I could live like this, but not forever 
             B                    G                        D 
And what if you could move the needle to a more forgiving song 
             B          G                       D  
And what if this, was never really broken all along 
         B             G                         D 
But for tonight, I'm sleeping with my television on 

D... 
I'm sleeping with my TV on 

D G D 
Ohhh~ 

D                              
Yeah I don't mind sleeping,  
G                           D 
not when there's flash and buzz 
                                        G        D 
Your colors dance beneath my bedroom door 
D                             
Yeah I don't mind sleeping  
G          D 
with my TV on 
D 
With my TV on 
D 
With my TV on 
D 
With my TV on 
D             G  D 
With my TV on,   yeah 
                    G                             D 
Come tomorrow your signal in the silence 'til the dawn
