[Intro]
A   D

[Verse]
A (once, then mute)             E
Bury me in the backyard with my best friends.
D                                          A
Eventually each means will reach its end.
A                                     E
They're drinking on the couch, so I'm leaving any minute now.
D                                               A
I guess I'm just more diffident than I present.

A
'Cause I just want to go to sleep
    E
and find some silence in my dreams,
D                                A
but I cannot rest, though I feel weak.

A
And I just want to go to bed
    E
and find some silence in my head,
D                                   A
but my thoughts are bursting at the seams.

[Interlude]
A   D

[Verse]
A                               E
Bury me in your bedroom without sheets.
D                            A
Feed me your false pretense. Make me feel complete-
A                                 E
-ly hammered, getting nailed, enamored with being frail
D                                            A
in situations where false ends justify these means.

A
But I just want to go to bed
     E
with someone who will not forget
D                                  A
how I made them feel when we first met.

A
And I just want to go to sleep
   E
beside someone who dreams of me,
D                                  A
someone who will miss me when I'm dead.

A   D
(for a while)

A  A/G# D 
(stop)
But I still can't fall asleep.

A   D
until the end
