Am   E   F   C    (X 2)

Am           E
Five in the morning 
      F                C
You know we couldn't sleep
Am             E
Might be inspiration 
          F                 C
But it's been this way for weeks 
     Am         E                     
And weeks  And weeks 
                F     C     
And weeks  And weeks 

Am            E
Do us all a favour 
   F         C
Admit thy defeat 
                         Am
Through the back of the head 
                         E
Through the back of the head 
                         
Through the back of the head 
                         F   C
Through the back of the head 

     G           Dm             F     Am   E   F   C             
And maybe we'll sleep with the lights off 

Am                   E
Bring me a glass of water 
    F                 C
It must be good and clean 
      Am               E
I'll chug it with the dosage 
          F        C
That I'm not to exceed 
                         Am
And leave the hat on the bed 
                      E
Leave the hat on the bed 

Leave the hat on the bed 
                      F   C
Leave the hat on the bed 
                         Am
And leave the hat on the bed 
                      E
Leave the hat on the bed 

Leave the hat on the bed 
                      F   C
Leave the hat on the bed 

     G           Dm             F     Am  
And maybe we'll sleep with the lights off 
     G           Dm             F     Am  
And maybe we'll sleep with the lights off 
     G            Dm            F      Am  
And maybe we can’t sleep with liiights off 

Am    G       D/F#
Turn out the lights 
F     C       B
Just hold me tight 
F       Am         Dm          Bb    C   Am
Sleep through the night, could you, with me?

Am    G       D/F#
Turn out the lights 
F     C       B
Just hold me tight

Sleep through the night, could you, with me?


Am    G       D/F#        F    C      B
              Paahhaah    ohhhhhhohhhooohhhhooohh
F     Am      Dm          Bb     C \   Am

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
