Verse 1:

  A5              G5                F#5             F5      E5       
    I'm having trouble tryin' to    sleep 
    I'm counting sheep but running  out
    As time ticks by                (and) still I   try
    No rest for crosstops in my     mind           on my own here we go

Verse 2:

  A5              G5                F#5             F5      E5       
    My eyes feels like their gonna  bleed
    Dried up and bulging out my     skull
    My mouth is dry                  my face is numb
    Fucked up and spun out in my    room           on my own here we go

Bridge: (play twice)

    My mind is   set on        overdrive
    The clock is laughing in my     face
    A crooked     spine             My sense is    dulled
    Passed the point of        delirium            on my own here we go
