City And Colour – Sleeping Sickness chords

Capo on 4th Fret Please rate and leave a comment


   EmI awoke
    C            GOnly to find my lungs empty
   Em            And through the night
     C               GSo it seems I'm not breathing
      Em                  C               GAnd now my dreams are nothing like they were meant to be
      Em                  C               G And I'm breaking down, I think I'm breaking down


     EmAnd I'm afraid
     C             GTo sleep because of what haunts me
      EmSuch as living with the uncertainty
        C        GThat I'll never find the words to say
  Em           C         GWhich would completely explain
  Em           C     GJust how I'm breaking down



[Chorus]
    D                      Em            CSomeone come and, someone come and save my life
    D                Em      CMaybe I'll sleep when I am dead
    D                    Em             CBut now it's like the night is taking sides
    D                   Em                 CWith all the worries that occupy the back of my mind
 D                 Em         CCould it be this misery will suffice?



[Gordon Downie]
      EmI've become
         C           GA simple souvenir of someone's kill
       EmAnd like the sea
        C              GI'm constantly changing from calm to ill
     Em                        C                      G Madness fills my heart and soul as if the great divide could swallow me whole
    Emoh, how I'm breaking down



[Chorus]

oooohhh my life
    D                     Em             CSomeone come and, someone come and save my life (save my life)
    D                     Em             CSomeone come and, someone come and save my life (save my life)
    D                     Em              CSomeone come and, someone come and save my life
     D         Em          CCould it be this misery will suffice?
