Lately

           Em                            Am
I seem to find myself talking to the powers that be
            G                                    B
awaking the shade and shadowed under towering trees
            E                             Am
admiring the seen, inhaling fumes of flowers that breathe.
            G                                  B
jet lagged eyes are begging for an hour to sleep
            Em                            Am
although my blood shot whites and iris's they never find any
G                                   B
clock stops at times where the sun shine can blind many
Em                     Am                          G
although my eyes are heavy they wont be closing soon
                                                        B
cos i know that time waits for nobody, I suppose its true
Em                       Am
we make corrosive tunes with acid tabs and vocal booths
G                                   B
to see the flashing lights at photo shoots, we make our motive moves
Em                Am
I say whatever I feel to vent a rhyme
   G                                 B
so I can still invent the lines and stay close to the friends of mine
     Em              Am
cos we all recognise, real is what my father says
 G                             B
and I'll be sticking to this phrase until I pass away
  Em              Am                          G
overworking, no sleep is just another way to die slow
              B
but I'll just keep going strong as ever, never let my eyes close


[CHORUS:]
          Em
I never sleep
               Am                     G                    B          Em Am G
when trouble steals thoughts from a restless mind for free, it could be, ahhh
B                                     Em             Am
the times I'm living in I never sleep, when trouble steals thoughts from a
   G                B               Em Am
restless mind for free, it could be.. [x4]
   G                B
the times I'm living in lately.
