Insomnia Tab

Capo 1st fret
I've just taken the other one on the site, and put some other chords on, since I think 
is this way he plays it.

                                  
 There's a life full, dangling from string
                   
 It's slowly swaying over my head now
                                          
 As I jot down the words that will never be solved
                         
 And wait for my headache to numb

                                    
 And the wind sounds as if the world's sighing
                          
 And the moon's just a torn fingernail
                                 
 As the TV flickers in homes by the wall
                             
 And I wait for my eyesight to fade


                                         
 So I hope, So I hope, So I hope, it's so damn slow
                                         
 So I hope, So I hope, So I hope, it's so damn slow

 Not pride, I choke on ambition
 And the old folks circle their graves
 And the young ones are busy destroying their heirs
 And the heirs are still just wasting away

 I sit and watch this screen for a message
 Some kind of sign that says we're ok
 But the screen stays blank till I turn the thing on
 And I wait for my conscience to break

Instrumental: F# - C - Am - F - G (I'm not sure about this, but it sounds ok)

 So...
 So I hope, So I hope, So I hope, it's so damn slow
 So I hope, So I hope, So I hope, it's so damn slow

 I hope you are learning to listen
 And I hope you are learning to stay
 And I hope you find what you are missing
 And I hope they're making your way

 I'm a headcase if I don't keep moving
 And my head hurts if I don't sit still
 It's an itch that I never stop scratching
 It's a hole that I'll never quite fill

 So...
