[Verse]
G
Tie your hands to riot
C                 G
Speak up to be quiet
C               Em   D       C
Make a list of every debt I owe
        G
Let's line the streets with curses
C                        G
Then turn them all to torches
C                 Em      D        G
I've never felt a loneliness this cold

G
So send up three more wishes
C                 G
Count my hits and misses
C            Em       D      C
Bury me in a box with my mistakes
G
Cause this lonely room's a prison
C                   G
And these fictional women
C                 Em      D   G
They fade away the longer I'm awake

[Chorus]
          D              Am
Are you busy serving sentences
C                 G       D
To prodigals and priests
Em               D                    C
Drowning in the sea of tears you're crying
          D                 Am
Are you worried that you're happier
    C          G
At war than at peace
  D    Em       D       C               Em
Baby are you losing sleep tonight like I am
    Em       D      C      G         C
Oh are you losing sleep tonight like I am

[Verse]
G
So you keep making up more reasons
     C            G
To justify such treason
C                          Em       D  C
You can keep my poisoned ashes in your urn
G
But goddamn these dire visions
            C          G
And this swimming in religion
C                        Em           D         G
You can tell them all you stood and watched me burn

[Chorus]
          D              Am
Are you busy serving sentences
C                 G       D
To prodigals and priests
Em               D                    C
Drowning in the sea of tears you're crying
          D                  Am
Are you worried that you're happier
    C          G
At war than at peace
 D     Em       D     C               Em
Baby are you losing sleep tonight like I am
    Em       D      C      G         C
Oh are you losing sleep tonight like I am

[Chorus]
          D              Am
Are you busy serving sentences

To prodigals and priests
Em               D                    C
Drowning in the sea of tears you're crying
          D                  Am
Are you worried that you're happier
    C          G
At war than at peace
 D     Em       D     C               Em

    Em       D      C      G         C
Oh are you losing sleep tonight like I am
