Verse:
D A E
She comes to me at night when I'm sleeping
She comes to me when I'm alone
She comes to me, she holds my hand when I'm crying
She comes to me, she shuts my eyes
She brings me home
Chorus (repeat the intro here):
E5 A E5
But I'm not sleeping anymore, anymore
But I'm not sleeping anymore, anymore
Verse:
D A E
She tells me when you look at me, she tells me when you're lying
She tells me when you talk about me, she lays me on the floor
She tells me when you're whispering, she lies beside me naked
She tells me when you laugh at me and she locks all the doors
Chorus:
E5 A E5
But I'm not sleeping anymore, anymore
But I'm not sleeping anymore, anymore
Bridge:
E
1-2-3-4-5-6-7

Emaj7
AM, All alone again
D A
But I've been through all this shit before
E
Spend my nights in self defense
Emaj7
Cry about my innocence
D A
But I ain't all that innocent anymore, more, more
----------------------------------------------------------------
Not sure what to do here cause of the whole squealy guitar thing
but I would just go through this whole chord progression one
more time and then go into the verse progression instrumentally
2 times.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Verse:
D A E
I see her on the TV, I see her in the movies
I see her in these animals that dance beside my bed
I'll follow you down baby, down into this valley
I'll follow you down baby, but I won't come up again
Chorus:
E5 A E5
But I'm not sleeping anymore, anymore
But I'm not sleeping anymore, anymore
(At this part I like to just play the chords, but you could also
play the intro/chorus thing.)
E A
I'm not sleeping, I'm not sleeping, I'm not sleeping, no(etc.)
I'm not sleeping, I'm not sleeping, anymore, anymore, no, anymore, ah, ah
Ending (same as the bridge):
E
I said rain, rain go away
Emaj7
Come again some other day,
D
Cause I got all this shit to say
A
But I've gone back to find my way.
E
My sister's mother's favorite son
Emaj7
Lost among the chosen ones,
D
But I've got news for everyone
A
Cause I've gone out that door
