[Riff 1]
Violent dreams, every night
Lately I've been waking out of urgency
Something I said, something I did
Is bringing on this violent emergency
Bm                       E
One black day in ghostly white
                           [Riff 1] A
For just another sleepless night


             F#m  A
And one more day
    E      F#m        A
I'm always taking the dive
           F#m  A
And all it takes 
             E     F#m  A  Bm
Is all I can give, yeah
Bm            A/Ab          A       D
All my waking hours just to see you live
                       [Riff 1]
Through this sleepless night


[Riff 1]
Violent dreams, every night
Patiently waiting in the waiting room
Hospital whites, hospital lights
Burning an unbearable flourescent gloom
Bm                      E
Still with both my eyes shut tight
                            [Riff 1] A
It's just another sleepless night


             F#m  A
And one more day
    E      F#m        A
I'm always taking the dive
           F#m  A
And all it takes 
             E     F#m  A  Bm
Is all I can give, yeah
Bm            A/Ab          A       D
All my waking hours just to see you live


[Riff 2] [x2]

[Riff 2]
And you behind closed eyes
Behind closed doors
E                               Bm
"First thing tomorrow," someone said,
                   A/Ab   A     D
She's hanging by a needle and a thread.


[Riff 1]
Violent dreams, every night
Turning empty pages of old magazines
Turning instead, of turning in bed
Turning off the static on the TV screen
Bm                  E
In the vending machine light
                            [Riff 1] A
It's just another sleepless night


             F#m  A
And one more day
    E      F#m        A
I'm always taking the dive
           F#m  A
And all it takes 
             E     F#m  A  
Is all I can give, yeah


             F#m  A
And one more day
    E      F#m        A
I'm always taking the dive
           F#m  A
And all it takes 
             E     F#m  A  Bm
Is all I can give, yeah
Bm            A/Ab          A       D
All my waking hours just to see you live
