Taken By Sleep Tabulatur von Tyler Joseph

This is the story of a scarlet letter...

[Intro] |G C Em D|


Verse 1:


G

It just hit me as I lay my head down 

C

No one around in the dark cold night I hear a sound

Em

In my head, repeat track of everything you've ever said

D

Must be something, but it's nothing, so I just go back to bed

G

It's four, crack the door to the hallway in my dreams

C

But it seems that my hallway keeps closing in on me

Em

Forcing me out, making me think about you and how you're gone

D

I see four-o-five with teary eyes and then I write this song



Chorus:


G

And I just can't believe it has to be this way

C

You know we say it seems to me that it was just the other day

Em

I saw your face and saw your light, you ran the race you fought the fight

D

But now It's just being torn down for me tonight

G

And I know it might be a little selfish for me to say

C

But I need to know if you thought of me at all today

Em

'Cause every day I walk past the place you left five days of the week

D

And now it's ten after four, and I am Taken By Sleep



Verse 2:


G

Spending hours on end, deciding on what 

C

I'd say to a friend if I ever saw him again

Em 
           
'Cause I don't know if I don't know, don't wanna come across the wrong way

D

And I don't know if I know, but I know I want to see your face today

G

Somebody told me that they saw you cry and break down

C

Do you know how hard that is to get around and think about?

Em

It's not like you to let emotions get the best of things

D

Especially when everything is hanging in the air we breathe


Chorus:


G

And I just can't believe it has to be this way

C

You know we say it seems to me that it was just the other day

Em

I saw your face and saw your light, you ran the race you fought the fight

D

But now It's just being torn down for me tonight

G

And I know it might be a little selfish for me to say

C

But I need to know if you thought of me at all today

Em

'Cause every day I walk past the place you left five days of the week

D

And now it's ten after four, and I am Taken By Sleep



Bridge:


G                C

And I'll sing a song to you my friend


Em           D

I'll sing a song to you my friend

G            C

I'll sing a song to you my friend

Em           D 
     
I'll sing a song to you my... LET'S GO!

G    C    Em   D

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

G                C

And I'll sing a song to you my friend

Em           D

I'll sing a song to you my friend
