Sleeping Sickness — City and Colour
Chords and lyrics for Sleeping Sickness by City and Colour (key of C).
Verse
I [Em]awoke
Only[C] to find my [G]lungs empty
And[Em] through the night
So it[C] seems I'm not [G]breathing
And [Em]now my dreams are [C]nothing like they [G]were meant to be
And [Em]I'm breaking down, I [C]think I'm [G]breaking down
And [Em]I'm afraid
To [C]sleep because of[G] what haunts me
Such [Em]as living with the uncertainty
That [C]I'll never [G]find the words to say
[Em]Which would [C]completely [G]explain
[Em]Just how I'm [C]breaking[G] down
Chorus
[D]Someone come and, someone [Em]come and save [C]my life
[D]Maybe I'll sleep when[Em] I am [C]dead
But [D]now it's like the [Em]night is taking [C]sides
With[D] all the worries [Em]that occupy the back [C]of my mind
[D]Could it be this [Em]misery will [C]suffice?
Gordon Downie
I've [Em]become
A simple [C]souvenir of [G]someone's kill
And [Em]like the sea
I'm [C]constantly changing[G] from calm to ill
[Em]Madness fills my heart and soul[C] as if the great divide[G] could swallow me
whole
oh, [Em]how I'm breaking down
Chorus
oooohhh my life
[D]Someone come and, someone [Em]come and save [C]my life (save my life)
[D]Someone come and, someone [Em]come and save [C]my life (save my life)
[D]Someone come and, someone [Em]come and save my[C] life
Could[D] it be [Em]this misery [C]will suffice?
