Who Needs Sleep?(Chords)

	        Barenaked Ladies- Who Needs Sleep? 
 
G C D Em 
 
G        C         D      G 
Now I lay me down not to sleep 
G        C          D       G 
I just get tangled in the sheets 
Em      C            D        Em 
I swim in sweat three inches deep 
Em      C            D        G 
I just lay back and claim defeat 
 
G C D Em (slow) 
 
G        C         D      G 
Chapter read and lesson learned. 
G        C         D      G 
Turn the lights off while she burns. 
Em      C            D        Em 
So while she's 300 degrees, 
Em      C            D        Em 
I throw the sheets off and I freeze. 
 
Chorus 
Am            F                  G 
Lid's down, count sheep, count heartbeats 
    Am               G                    Am 
The only thing that counts is that I won't sleep 
F             G 
Countdown, I look around 
 
C 
Who needs sleep 
             F 
Well you're never gonna get it 
C 
Who needs sleep 
         F 
Tell me what's that for 
C 
Who needs sleep 
            F 
You have to live with what you're getting 
             G 
There's a guy's been awake since the second World War 
 
Repeat from ?Who needs sleep?? 
 
G C D Em 
 
 
G        C         D      G 
My hands are locked up tight in fists 
G        C         D      G 
My mind is racing, filled with lists 
Em      C            D        Em 
of things to do and things I've done 
Em      C            D        Em 
Another sleepless night's begun. 
 
Chorus 
 
C               G             C             G 
So much joy in life so many pleasures all around 
         C           G           C             G 
But the pleasure of insomnia is one I've never found 
      C              G                C            G 
With all life has to offer there's so much to be enjoyed 
          C            G            C            G 
But the pleasures of insomnia are ones I can't avoid
