Standard (EADGBE)

I've noticed your design

 cause I'm not blind.

I'm like a cigarette

Burning, burning every night.

But there's no ash that falls

 There's only telephone calls

In the afternoon,

Stretching through a thousand walls.

So I'll pray

 For words to say

 To make these miles disappear.

 If you can't sleep alone,

 I'm better off, I'm better off

 If you can't sleep alone

If we're measuring with time,

 In seconds or in lifetimes,

there's no difference,

 It's constantly just passing by.

But there's nothing at all,

 No Valium or slow songs to relax my view,

 just you. Maybe your new perfume.

So I'll pray

 For words to say

 To make these miles disappear.

 If you can't sleep alone

 I'm better off, I'm better off

 If you can't hear the song

 Then turn it off, then turn it off

 If you cast the first stone

 Then throw them all, Then throw them all

 I start to sleep, but it's not over.

 The second hand is moving slower now

 I'd take it all back to start over again

 Just between the rock and paper,

 The scissors cut in so much deeper.

 I'd take it all back,

To start over again,

Again, again, .

again, again
