How Do You Sleep
View chords used in this chart
[Intro]/Verse:
C F7M x2
C F7M
Does your brain hum a buzz at night
Am E F7M
With things that you have done
Am E F7M
And things you haven't done
C F7M
Fall on top of you
C F7M
And mulling over friends of old
Am E F7M
And lovers who have gone
Am E F7M
Exactly what went wrong
C
Well I do
[Refrão]
F7M C
And all those coward acts and lies
E Am
Well it all comes back when I close my eyes
Am F7M C
And all those times when I made someone cry
F7M C
But you have done far worse than I
E Am
But you hide the guilt with a plastic smile
Am F7M C
And I wonder how do you sleep at night
For the rest of the song just repeat this pattern.
Lyrics:
The hearts you've broken with such ease
And lives that you have grabbed
And backs that you have stabbed take time to heal.
It's sickening and heartbreaking
The cruel things I've done
In the name of fun well I'm sorry.
(Chorus x2)
