C#m C#m/A C#m/B

[Verse 1]

C#m
You've been out there in the city
C#m                         C#m/A C#m/B
What did you bring back for me?
C#m
A vicious preoccupation
C#m                  C#m/A C#m/B
With a darkness underneath
C#m
And there's something empty now
C#m                 C#m/A C#m/B
In the way that you live
C#m
Is there something you're hiding?
C#m                       C#m/A C#m/B
Oh darling, I'm afraid to ask

[Chorus]

C#m                                                 A     B
Lie awaken 'cause you're worried in the dead of the night
C#m                                                 A      B
Why are you staring at the ceiling till the morning light?
C#m                                                A      B
Is your heart pounding with a secret that you can't keep?
                      C#m   A  B
Tell me why you can't sleep

[Verse 2]

C#m
I've been sitting here waiting
C#m                         C#m/A C#m/B
Stare out the window on the street
C#m
Watch strangers come round the corner
C#m                   C#m/A C#m/B
Hoping it was you I'd see
C#m
I pretend not to notice
C#m                  C#m/A C#m/B
The distance in your eyes
C#m
But when you pull me in closer
                          C#m/A C#m/B
Smell cigarette smoke and lies

[Chorus]

C#m                                                 A     B
Lie awaken 'cause you're worried in the dead of the night
C#m                                                 A      B
Why are you staring at the ceiling till the morning light?
C#m                                                A      B
Is your heart pounding with a secret that you can't keep?
                      A
Tell me why you can't sleep

[Interlude]

               B            C#m  B     A
You're not the only one who ever needed
                  B            C#m       B     A
Speak, scream it aloud and showdown your demons
              B                             C#m
Lies make you weak and that's why you can't sleep

[Chorus]

C#m                                                 A     B
Lie awaken 'cause you're worried in the dead of the night
C#m                                                 A      B
Why are you staring at the ceiling till the morning light?
C#m                                                A      B
Is your heart pounding with a secret that you can't keep?
                      C#m
Tell me why you can't sleep
                      A     B C#m
Tell me why you can't sleep
