Chorus:
     A#          F            C      Dm
No i would not sleep in this bed of lies
A#          F       C   Dm
So toss me out and turn in
              A#    F              C     Dm
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
     A#         F       C   Dm
I'm marking it down to learning
  A#
I Am

F                             A#           F
Don't think that i can take another empty moment
F                            A#             F
Dont think that i can fake another hollow smile
C          Dm               A#
It's not enough just to be lonely.
 F                             A#            F
Don't think that I could take another talk about it

  C
Just like me you got needs
            Dm               C
And they're only a whisper away
And we softly surrender
          Dm
To these lies that we've
 A#        C
tendered away

Chorus:
But I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out, and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learnin'
I'm marking it down to learnin', 'cause I can

I don't want to be the one who turns
the whole thing over
I don't want to be somewhere where
I just don't belong
Where it's not enough just to be sorry
Don't you know I feel the darkness closing in?

I tried to be more than me
And I gave until it all went away
And we've only surrendered
To the worst part left of these
winters that we've made

Chorus:
But I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out, and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learnin'
I'm marking it down to learnin'

     Dm
I am all that I'll ever be
      C                      Dm
when you lay your hands over me
             Gm
but don't go weak on me now
   A#
I know that it's weak
         A#              C
But God help me I need this

Chorus:
I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out, and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learnin'
I'm marking it down to learnin', 'cause I can
