I try to [G] write a [D] simple
[A] song
And the [G] chords and the [C] [G] melodies are [D] all wrong
I try to get to [G] sleep [D] at [A] night
And my [G] crazy brain [C] just won't [G] cut out the [D] light
I'm worrying [G] you [D] feel so [A] sad
[G] Wishing for [C] things [G] that you never [D] had
But when it comes [G] [D] around it [A] seems
[G] That it should [C] look a lot brighter [G] in your [D] dreams
[A] Don't [D] try to get to [G] sleep

[A] You [G] hate me like the same I've never [C] been

And when you [G] finally [D] think [A] that you've won
And
[G] you find [C] that [G] tomorrow's on [D] the run
[A]
