Now I lay me down not to sleep

I just get tangled in the sheets
Em C D Em
I swim in sweat three inches deep
Em C D G
I just lay back and claim defeat

Lid’s down, count sheep, count heartbeats

The only thing that counts is that I won’t sleep

Countdown, I look around

There’s a guy’s been awake since the second World War

So much joy in life so many pleasures all around
C G C G
But the pleasure of insomnia is one I’ve never found
C G C G
With all life has to offer there’s so much to be enjoyed
C G C G
But the pleasures of insomnia are ones I can’t avoid
Now I lay me down not to sleep.
I just get tangled in the sheets.
I swim in sweat 3 inches deep
Just lay back and claim defeat
Chapter read and lesson learned.
Turn the lights off while she burns.
So while she’s 300 degrees,
I throw the sheets off and I freeze.
Chorus:
Lids down, I count sheep
I count heart beats.
The only thing that counts is that I won’t sleep
I countdown, I look around
Who needs sleep??
Well you’re never gonna get it.
Who needs sleep??
Tell me, what’s that for?
Who needs sleep??
You’re happy wiith what you get and there’s a guy that’s been awake
since the 2nd world war.
Who needs sleep??
Well you’re never gonna get it.
Who needs sleep??
Tell me, what’s that for?
Who need sleep??
You happy with what you get and there’s a guy that’s been awake since
the 2nd world war.
My hands are locked up tight in fists
My mind is racing, filled with lists
of things to do and things I’ve done
Another sleepless night’s begun.
Lids down, I count sheep
I count heart beats.
The only thing that counts is that I won’t sleep
I countdown, I look around
Who needs sleep??
Well you’re never gonna get it.
Who needs sleep??
Tell me, what’s that for?
Who needs sleep??
You’re happy wiith what you get and there’s a guy that’s been awake
since the 2nd world war.
Who needs sleep??
Well you’re never gonna get it.
Who needs sleep??
Tell me, what’s that for?
Who need sleep??
You happy with what you get and there’s a guy that’s been awake since
the 2nd world war.
So much joy in life and so many pleasures all around
but the pleasure of insomnia is one I’d never found.
With all life has to offer, there’s so much to be enjoyed
but the pleasures of insomnia are ones I can’t avoid.
Lids down, I count sheep
I count heart beats.
The only thing that counts is that I won’t sleep
I countdown, I look around
Halla halla halla
Who needs sleep??
Well you’re never gonna get it.
Who needs sleep??
Tell me, what’s that for?
Who need sleep??
You hafta use what you get and there’s a guy that’s been awake since
the
2nd world war
Who needs sleep??
Well you’re never gonna get it.
Who needs sleep??
Tell me, what’s that for?
Who need sleep??
You hafta use what you get and there’s a guy that’s been awake since
the
2nd world war
