VERSE 1
A5                 G5                         Gb5  F5  E5
I'm having trouble trying to sleep
A5                       G5                        Gb5  F5  E5
I'm counting sheep but running out
A5                     G5 Gb5
As time ticks by 
                    F5 E5
And still I try
A5                   G5                        Gb5
No rest for crosstops in my mind
F5                      E5
On my own... here we go

A5                   G5                              Gb5  F5  E5
My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed
A5                    G5                          Gb5  F5  E5
Dried up and bulging out my skull
A5                      G5 Gb5
My mouth is dry 
                     F5     E5
My face is numb
A5                          G5                     Gb5
Fucked up and spun out in my room

On my own... here we go

VERSE 3
A5                  G5                Gb5  F5  E5
My mind is set on overdrive
A5                  G5                        Gb5  F5  E5
The clock is laughing in my face
A5                  G5  Gb5
A crooked spine 
                       F5    E5
My sense's dulled
A5                           G5         Gb5
Passed the point of delerium
F5                      E5
On my own... here we go

A5                    G5                          Gb5  F5  E5
Dried up and bulging out my skull
A5                      G5 Gb5
My mouth is dry 
                      F5    E5
My face is numb

How to read these chord schemes

1 - chord name, 2 - chord designation, 3 - chord scheme

Chord name

There is the name of a chord before the symbols. If it's "*" added to a name, it means that this chord is played in different positions during the song.

Chord designation

There are 6 symbols in a designation, read it from left to right. The first symbol defines the thickest string (6th string), the second symbol defines 5th string and so on.

"0" means open string

"x" means this string isnt played

"Number" means number of a fret.

Example:

x02220

6th string isnt played
5th string is open
4th string is played on 2nd fret
3rd string is played on 2nd fret
2nd string is played on 2nd fret
1st string is open

Chord scheme

Imagine that you are looking at the fret while playing guitar - the closest string to your eyes is the 6th, the thickest string. There are 6 horizontal lines defines strings, the upper one is the thinnest string (1st string).
And there are 4 lines defined frets - no exact frets numbers defined.
In some schemes there is a thick line on the left - it defines the nut.

"0" means open string
"x" means this string isnt played
Fat dots mean fingers positions

Example:

G5 355xxx
