R.E.M. - Daysleeper
C Cmaj7 x4
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
Receiving department, 3 AM
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
Staff cuts have socked up the coverage
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
Directives are posted No call backs, complaints
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
Everywhere is calm
D# Dm
Hong Kong is present, Taipei wakes up
F G
Talk of Secadian rhythm
Chorus:
C Dm Am Em
I see today with a newsprint frame
C D G
My night is colored headache-grey
C Dm Am Em
Daysleeper, daysleeper
C D G
daysleeper
Repeat chords form remaining verses
The bull and the bear are marking their territories
They're leading the blind with their international glories
I'm the screen, the blinding light
I'm the screen, I work at night
Chorus:
I see today with a newsprint frame
My night is colored headache-grey
Don't wake me
You're so much
Daysleeper
Dsus4 x2
Bridge:
C Cmaj7 C
I cried the other night
C Cmaj7 C
I can't even say why
C Cmaj7 C
flourescent, flat, caffeine lights
C Cmaj7 C
It's furious balancing
I'm the screen, the blinding light
I'm the screen, I work at night
Chorus:
I see today with a newsprint frame
My night is colored headache grey
Don't wake me (you're) so much
The ocean machine is set to night
I'll squeeze into heaven and Valentine
My bed is pulling me, gravity, daysleeper
Daysleeper, daysleeper, daysleeper, daysleeper
