A#                   D#
Sleeping is giving in,
   A#                    Gm
no matter what the time is.
A#                    D#
Sleeping is giving in,
   A#                      Gm
so lift those heavy eyelids.

People say that you'll die
Faster than without water
But we know it's just a lie
Scare your son, scare your daughter

People say that your dreams
Are the only things that save you
Come on baby, in our dreams
We can live our misbehavior

People try and hide the night
Underneath the covers
People try and hide their lies
Underneath the covers

Come on hide your lovers
Underneath the covers
Come on hide your lovers
Underneath the covers

Hiding from your brothers
Underneath the covers
Come on hide your lovers
Underneath the covers

People say that you'll die
Faster than without water
But I know it's just a lie
Scare your son, scare your daughter
Scare your son, scare your daughter
Scare your son, scare your daughter

Now here's the sun, it's alright! (Lies! Lies!)
Now here's the moon, it's alright! (Lies! Lies!)
Now here's the sun, it's alright! (Lies! Lies!)
Now here's the moon, it's alright! (Lies! Lies!)
But every time you close your eyes (Lies! Lies!)
Every time you close your eyes (Lies! Lies!)
Every time you close your eyes (Lies! Lies!)
Every time you close your eyes (Lies! Lies!)

Every time you close your eyes
Every time you close your eyes
Every time you close your eyes
