E5
You closed your eyes and left me here
            C#5             A5
and now I'm jealous of your sleep
E5
I made some noise to wake you up
                C#5             A5
it seems you've drifted out of reach

E5
I'm not sure if you meant what you said
            A5
but that's O.K.

'cos it still sounded good
                    E5
when you said it anyway
                                                       A5
I'm not sure where you are when I turn and stroke your face
                                             E5
you don't move anymore so it must be getting late


(As verse above)
E5
I'm not tired even now
           C#5         A5
I think I'm glad to be awake
E5
I've met these fractured thoughts before
             C#5                A5
they grin and wander round this place


E5
I'll get up all I find
                  A5
is a paper that I hate

real life disappears
                               E5
and gets shrink wrapped in its place

I get up watch TV
                         A5
helps me feed my vicious streak

real life disappears
                  C#5
Then we watch the spooks on the news

playing chess with the cynics
         B5
hope you die in the arms of your shrinks in your clinics
         E
now it's gone 5 A.M.
                      A
We smile and plan our revenge
                                        C#m
by the end the night has found its true friends
                                        B
up all hours sketching a thousand great schemes
                                      E
hope I'm not too tired to colour them in

maybe I'm not too tired to colour them
