[Verse 1]
Em
I need some Valium, Xanax, Percocet
E
Darvocet, Vicodin, Klonopin, sleeping pills and Nyquil
D
I can't sleep, yo
D
And it's driving me mad
D
It's like my eyelids are glued to the top of my forehead
Em
I lie in bed with my eyes wide open
Em
But Duddy, don't you worry you'll be sleeping in a moment
Em
Then moments turn minutes and minutes turn to hours
Em
Then hours turn to long-ass nights and cold showers
Em
It's four in the morning, still wide awake
Em
Let's see how many bong tokes Duddy B can take
D
Already drank all the alcohol left in my house
D
Now I sit here wide awake with a dry fucking mouth
Em
And I just think of all the things on my mind
Em
And then I let 'em roll around in there a million times
D
Until it's got me, 'til it grabs ahold of me, baby
D
It's insomnia kids, you know it's driven me crazy
[Chorus]
Em
Turn out the lights lie my head down
D
I lie my head down, I close my eyes
Em
Now all I do, girl, is lie here
D Em D
I think I'll die here, insomnia
[Verse 2]
Em
Push my face in the pillow to asphyxiate the sound
Em
I'd cry myself to sleep, but I'm too scared that I might drown
D
I'm calling for the sandman, but I don't think he's in town
D
And all these sleepless nights and running thoughts have got me down
Em
I wish I got a sudden case of narcolepsy
Em
Maybe call up Duddy B so we can spark the best weed
D
Give me something nice so it can calm my chest peace
D
And talk about some things that we really don't need
Em
As I lay in bed, in my head I'm running circles
Em
Stuck in the land of low light and infomercials
D
Its insomnia kids, you know it's drivin' me crazy
D
Only thing that can save me is an overdose maybe
[Chorus]
Em
Turn out the lights lie my head down
D
I lie my head down, I close my eyes
Em
Now all I do, girl, is lie here
D Em
I think I'll die here, insomnia
[Bridge]
A Em
Fallin', fallin', tryin' to fall asleep
A Em
I can't see nothin', cause my eyes are just too weak
A
Fallin', fallin', tryin' to fall asleep
Em D
Fallin', fallin' cause my eyes are just too weak
[Out-Chorus]
Em
Turn out the lights lie my head down
D
I lie my head down, I close my eyes
Em
Now all I do, girl, is lie here
D
I think I'll die here, insomnia
