City and Colour Sleeping Sickness Lyrics

Sleeping Sickness by City And Colour
Intro Em - C - G - G/F# - Em - C - G
I awoke only to find my lungs empty and through the night
so it seems I'm not breathing and now my dreams
are nothing like they were meant to be
and I'm breaking down, i think I'm breaking down
and I'm afraid to sleep because of what haunts me
such as living with the uncertainty
that I'll never find the words to say
G G/F# Em C G G/F#**
which would completely explain, just how I'm breaking down
M
someone come, someone come and save my life
M
maybe I'll sleep when I am dead
but now it's like the night is taking sides
M
and all the worries that occupy the back of my mind
M
could it be this misery will suffice?
Em - C - G - G/F# - Em - C - G
I've become a simple souvenir of someone's kill and like the sea
I'm constantly changing from calm to ill
madness fills my heart and soul
as if the great divide could swallow me whole
C G G/F#**
oh how I'm breaking down
Play Chorus

M
someone come, someone come and save my life (save my life)

could it be this misery will suffice?
