Verse 1 Chords:
G D/F# Em/G Cadd G-C-Em
These hammers and strings Been following me around
From a bGox filled gaD/F#rage To the Em/Gdark punk rock Caddclubs Of 1G000 ACmerican Emtowns
And my fGriend calls me D/F#up,
he says, &qEm/Guot;how haveD you been?"G I say, "dCear I've been well,
Yeah the moEm/Gney's coDming But I Gmiss you like D/F#hell.
Em/G D G-C-Em
I still hear you in this old piano, oh yeah."
Verse 2 Chords:
She says, &Gquot;Andy,Cadd I know thatEm/G we don't talDk as much
But I sGtill hear your gCaddhost in these old Em/G punk rock cDlubs
Come on,G write me a sCaddong, give me sEm/Gomething to trDust
Just pGromise you wCaddon't let it Em/Gbe, just the kDeys that you tCouch."
Chorus:
Give me something to belGieve in, a breath from the breaDthing
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
G-C-G G-C-Em
So I write you a lullaby A lullaby
Verse 3 Chords: Same as Verse 1
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?"
Chorus:
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,Em C D A luGllaby. Em C D
Final Chorus:
Give me something to bGelieve in,
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 sCleeping?
It's just that at Emnight, I've got nowhere to Chide
To the spEmeepless, this Dis my reCply:
G C Em D G C Em D… (repeat to fade out)
I'll write you a lullaby A lullaby, a lullaby… etc
