Intro:
G  Cadd9  (x2)
 
Gadd9      Cadd9  Gadd9            Cadd9              Gadd9
I'm on a train,       but there's no one at the helm
              Cadd9       Gadd9
And there's a demon in my brain
    Cadd9         Gadd9           Cadd9
Who starts to overwhelm whelm whelm
 
Gadd9  Cadd9  (x2)
 
Gadd9     Cadd9   Gadd9       Cadd9           Gadd9
     And there it goes, my last chance for peace
    Cadd9  Gadd9     Cadd9           G
You lay me down, but I get no release
                      D/F#   Em7
And I say i, I try to keep awake
G        D/F#     Em7
I try to swim beneath
G        D/F#     Em7
I try to keep awake
        A7                        Cadd9
But I, I can feel this narcolepsy slide
(no guitar here)
Into another nightmare
 
Cadd9  G  (2-3x)
 
             Cadd9                 G
And there's a demon in my head who starts to play
        Cadd9                      G
A nightmare tape loop of what went wrong yesterday
      Cadd9                    G
And I hold my breath till it's more than I can take
      Cadd9                        G
And I close my eyes and dream that I'm awake
G        D/F#   Em7
I try to keep awake
G        D/F#   Em7
I try to keep awake
G        D/F#   Em7
I try to keep awake
       A7                     Cadd9
But I, I can feel this narcolepsy slide
(no guitar here)
Into another nightmare
 
 
And then just Cadd9 to G until the end
 
I read dead Russian authors volumes at a time
I write everything down except what's on my mind
'Cause my greatest fear is that sucking sound
And then I know that I'll never get back out
And there's a bone in my hand that connects to a drink
In a crowded room where the glasses clink
And I'll buy you a beer and we'll drink it deep
Because that keeps me from falling asleep I said
How'd you like to be alone and drowning
How'd you like to be alone and drowning
How'd you like to be alone and drowning
How'd you like to be alone and drowning
Still I find this narcolepsy slide slide
Into another nightmare
Keep awake, keep awake, keep awake
And I can feel this narcolepsy slide
