Chord/Tab song: Insomnia

Tune half step down as in original playing. Use barred chords.


There'[G]s a life full, dangling from s[D]tring
It's slowl[G]y swaying over my head[D] now
As I [G]jot down the words that will[D] never b[A]e solved
And [Bm]wait for my headache to[A] numb
And the wind sounds as if the world's sighing
And the moon's just a torn fingernail
As the TV flickers in homes by the wall
And I wait for my eyesight to fade

So I [G]hope, So I [D]hope, So I hop[Bm]e, it's so damn s[A]low
So I [G]hope, So I[D] hope, So I[Bm] hope, it's so da[A]mn slow
Not pride, I choke on ambition
And the old folks circle their graves
And the young ones are busy destroying their heirs
And the heirs are still just wasting away
I sit and watch this screen for a message
Some kind of sign that says we're ok
But the screen stays blank till I turn the thing on
And I wait for my conscience to break

Instrumental

G D Bm A ( the rest )

So...
So I hope, So I hope, So I hope, it's so damn slow
So I hope, So I hope, So I hope, it's so damn slow
I hope you are learning to listen
And I hope you are learning to stay
And I hope you find what you are missing
And I hope they're making your way
I'm a headcase if I don't keep moving
And my head hurts if I don't sit still
It's an itch that I never stop scratching
It's a hole that I'll never quite fill
So...

Outro: G D Bm A
