[Intro 1]
[Am][Em]
[C][F][Am][E]
[C][F][C][Am]

[Verse 1]
No food to [F]eat,
all the money's been [C]wasted from [Dm]last [Em]week[Am]
I can't even [F]leave, so I sleep in the [C]basement,
making up [Dm]rap [E]beats[Am]
Hot cup [F]of tea, it's four o'clock in the [C]middle of the night,
and I [Dm]can't [Em]sleep[Am]
It's all on [F]the peak,
so bad I can [C]taste it while it [Dm]eats me
[C]

[Verse 2]
[Am]
How can [F]I sleep if I don't have [C]dreams?
I just have [Dm]nightmares[Am]
How can it [F]be?
I still [C]believe something is [Dm]out
[C]there
[Dm][Bm]

[Verse 3]
[Am]
Some part [F]of me feels a little bit
[C]naked and [Dm]empty[Em][Am]
I'm stuck under[F]neath a few dirty old
[C]blankets to com[Dm]fort me
[C]

[Verse 4]
[Am]
How can [F]I sleep if I don't have [C]dreams?
I just have [Dm]nightmares[Am]
How can [F]it be?
I still [C]believe something
is [Dm]out t[Am]here

[Verse 5]
How can I [F]sleep if I don't have [C]dreams?
I just have night[Dm]mares[F][Am]
How can [F]it be?
I still [C]believe something is [Dm]out t[F]here

[Verse 6]
And there's [C]a light,
and I can see [Em]why I'm still [Am]alive[C][F]
Mommy [C]won't lie, 'cause [Em]if she did,
I would've [Am]died
[Dm]All the time I s[Am]it and try,
[Dm]you think I'd be d[Am]own
[Dm]Every night, I'm [Am]sick and [Bm]why, oh,
[B]I'm staying up this [E]time
[Am][E][Em]

[Verse 7]
[Am]
How can [F]I sleep if I don't have [C]dreams?
I just have [Dm]night[F]mares[Am]
How can it [F]be?
I still [C]believe something
is [Dm]out t[Am]here

[Verse 8]
How can [F]I sleep if I don't have [C]dreams?
I just have [Dm]nightmares[Am]
How can it [F]be?
I still [C]believe something is [Dm]out t[F]here
