Chorus

Give me something to belGieve in, a breath from the breathDing

So write it down, I Emdon't think that I'll close my eCyes

'Cause lately I'm not dreGaming, so what's the point in sleDeping?

It's just that at nEmight, I've got nowhere to hCide

So I write you a lGulClaEmby A lullGabCy Em

These hammers and strings Been following me around

Behind passenger vans Through the snow, dirt, and sands

Of 1000 American towns.

And my friend calls me up With her heart heavy still She says,

"Andy, the doctors Prescribed me the pills. But I know I'm not crazy.

I just lost my will. So why am I, why am I taking them still?"

I need something to believe in, a breath from the breathing

So write it down, I don't think that I'll close my eyes

'Cause lately I'm not dreaming, so what's the point in sleeping?

It's just that at night, I've got nowhere to hide

Post-Chorus:

To the slEmeepless, this Dis my reCply:

I will write you a lullGaby,D C D A GlullaDby.C D

Final Chorus:

Give me something to bGelieve iiiiiiiiiiiiDin,

So write it down, I doEmn't think that ID'll close my Ceyes

'Cause lately I'm not dGreaming, so what's the point in sDleeping?

It's just that at Emnight, I've got nowhere to Chide

To the slEmeepless, this Dis my reCply:

(repeat till fade oGut) D C D G D C D

I'll write you a lullaby A lullaby, a lullaby
