INTRO
E E Esus4 Esus4 E E Esus4 Esus4

VERSE 1
E E Esus4 Esus4
The devil's in the dreamin'
E E
He tells you I'm not sleepin'
Esus4 Esus4 E E
In my hotel room alone
E E Esus4 Esus4
With nothing to believe in
E E
You dive into the traffic rising up
Esus4 Esus4 E E
And it's so quiet
you're surprised and then you wake

PRE-CHORUS
G#m G#m A A
For all the things you're losing
E E
You might as well resign yourself
Esus4 Esus4 E E
to try and make a change
G#m G#m A A
And I'm going down to Hollywood
B B
They're gonna make a movie from the things
That they find crawling round my brain

CHORUS
A A B B C#m C#m
I wish I was a girl
B B A A
So that you could believe me
B B C#m C#m
And I could shake this static
A A
Every time I try to sleep
B B C#m C#m B B
I wish for all the world that I could say
E E F#sus4 F#sus4 F# F#
Hey, Elizabeth, you know I'm doing all right
A A B B
These days

INTERLUDE
E E Esus4 Esus4 E E Esus4 Esus4 E E

VERSE 2
E E Esus4 Esus4
The devil's in the dreamin',
E E
You see yourself descending
Esus4 Esus4 E E
From the building to the ground
E E Esus4 Esus4
And you watch the sky receding
E E
And you spin to see the traffic rising up
Esus4 Esus4 E E
and it's so quiet
and you're surprised and then you wake

PRE-CHORUS
G#m G#m A A
For all the things you're losing
E E
You might as well resign yourself
Esus4 Esus4 E E
to try and make a change
G#m G#m A A
And I'm going down to Hollywood
B B
They're gonna make a movie from the things
That they find crawling round my brain

CHORUS
A A B B C#m C#m
I wish I was a girl
B B A A
So that you could believe me
B B C#m C#m
And I could shake this static
A A
Every time I try to sleep
B B C#m C#m B B
I wish for all the world that I could say
E E F#sus4 F#sus4 F# F#
Hey, Elizabeth, you know I'm doing all right
A A B B
These days

E E A A
And one of these dreams
E E
You forgive me
F#m F#m
It makes me think of the bad decisions
A A
That keep you at home
E E A A
How could anyone else have changed
F#m F#m
But these are wrong conclusions
A A
That leave you alone
E E A A
How could everyone rearrange
E E A A
How could everyone else have changed
F#m F#m A A
What I see I believe

PRE-CHORUS
G#m G#m A A
For all the things you're losing
E E
You might as well resign yourself
Esus4 Esus4 E E
to try and make a change
G#m G#m A A
And I'm going down to Hollywood
B B
They're gonna make a movie from the things
That they find crawling round my brain

CHORUS

A A B B C#m C#m
I wish I was a girl
B B A A
So that you could believe me
B B C#m C#m
And I could shake this static
A A
Every time I try to sleep
B B C#m C#m B B
I wish for all the world that I could say
E E F#sus4 F#sus4 F# F#
Hey, Elizabeth, you know I'm doing all right
A A B B
These days
F#m F#m A A B B
Well I can't sleep at night
F#m F#m A A B B
Well I can't sleep at night
F#m F#m A A B B
Well I can't sleep at night
F#m F#m A A B B
Well I can't sleep at night
