Ode To Sleep Uke tab by Twenty One Pilots

Em G

  Em 
I wake up fine and dandy but then by the time I find it handy

To rip my heart apart and start planning my crash landing
                 G
I go up up up up up to the ceiling

Then I feel my soul start leaving, like an old man’s hair receding
Em
I’m pleading please, oh please on my knees repeatedly asking

Why it’s got to be like this, is this living free?
G
I don’t want to be the one, be the one who has the sun’s blood on my hands

I’ll tell the moon, take this weapon forged in darkness
                               Em
Some see a pen, I see a harpoon

G

G    Bm  D   Em 
I’ll stay awake
            C                 D            G
‘Cause the dark’s not taking prisoners tonight

G Bm DEm C D

G 
Why am I not scared in the morning?
Bm               D             Em
I don’t hear those voices calling
Em                       C      D
I must have kicked them out, I must have kicked them out
G                        Bm                   D               Em
I swear I heard demons yelling, those crazy words they were spelling
                     C
They told me I was gone
      D              G
They told me I was gone


G
But I’ll tell them
G    C               Em
Why won’t you let me go?
D             G         C 
Do I threaten all your plans?
     Em        D 
I’m insignificant
                  G   C                Em
Please tell them you have no plans for me
  D            G        C    Em           D 
I will set my soul on fire, what have I become?
               Em 
I’ll tell them


Em  

Em
On the eve of a day that’s forgotten and fake

And the trees they await and clouds anticipate

The start of a day when we put on our face
                                         G
A mask that portrays that we don’t need grace

On the eve of a day that is bigger than us

But we open our eyes ‘cause we’re told that we must

And the trees wave their arms and the clouds try to plead
                                         Em
Desperately yelling there’s something we need

Em
I’m not free I asked forgiveness three times

Same amount that I denied

I three-time mvp’ed this crime
G
I’m afraid to tell you who I adore, won’t tell you who I’m singing towards
                                                      Em
Metaphorically I’m a whore, and that’s denial number four

I must have kicked them out, I must have kicked them out
