Capo on 1st fret
 
 
CHORUS (Play one strum per chord for the first one)
G       D             C
I'm not asking you to leave
Em       D              C
I'm just begging you to let me get some sleep
G            D              C
I've lied awake for far too long
Em       D                 C
I get so sick and tired of witnessing the dawn
 
 
VERSE 1
G                         C
As Summer hangs on the horizon
G                          C
Desire jumps the fence and hightails to the sea
G                        C
A subtle tick turns into nightmares
G                              C
Without the sentence structure nothing functions
             Em           D             C
No one has a clue if it's me or if it's you
Em       D            C
Was it me or was it you?
 
 
CHORUS
G       D             C
I'm not asking you to leave
Em       D              C
I'm just begging you to let me get some sleep
G            D              C
I've lied awake for far too long
Em       D                 C
I get so sick and tired of witnessing the dawn
 
 
VERSE 2
G                          C
As Winter strangles at the shoreline
G                           C
Division locks the door and confiscates the key
G                           C
All freezer burn and Arctic research
G                               C
The time has passed for pouring glances, there's no romance
           Em          D                   C
There's no sign of the things that used to be
Em            D                   C
And all those things you promised me
 
 
CHORUS
G       D             C
I'm not asking you to leave
Em       D              C
I'm just begging you to let me get some sleep
G            D              C
I've lied awake for far too long
Em       D                 C
I get so sick and tired of witnessing the dawn
 
 
BRIDGE
Em           D                C
From nervous hands to nervous nightmares
Em      D
I often wake and find
G                   C
I'm not alone, just lonely all of the time
G                   C
I'm not alone, just lonely all of the time
G                   C
I'm not alone, just lonely all of the time
G                   C
I'm not alone, just lonely all of the time
 
CHORUS
G       D             C
I'm not asking you to leave
Em       D              C
I'm just begging you to let me get some sleep
G            D              C
I've lied awake for far too long
Em       D                 C
I get so sick and tired of witnessing the dawn
 
G       D             C
I'm not asking you to leave [I'm not asking you to leave]
G       D             C
I'm not asking you to leave [I'm not asking you to leave]
G       D             C
I'm not asking you to leave [I'm not asking you to leave]
Em       D              Em              C (Let ring)
I'm just begging you to let me get some sleep

this is really excellent. i'm always on the search for MCS songs that can be played with chords, so that i can play them on multiple instruments without the need to transpose. thanks very much.
