This is my first submission. Please let me know if anything is wrong with these chords since I am a beginner and may have gotten things a little wrong. I used audio from an acoustic session with Dermot O’Leary to figure this out so it’s probably different from the studio version. Dermot O’Leary Session 18/12/0 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fssttkjalvY Cmadd6- 335545 Standard Tuning [Intro] [Verse 1] I live to fall asleep It’s when I stop the hate I never want to dream It infiltrates beauty I live to fall asleep Regenerate and sin Skin so tense gives in I’ve lived enough to kill [Chorus] When did you become another distant friend Everyone who loved you stayed waited till the end When did you become another distant friend Everyone who loved you stayed waited till the end Oh when did you decide that sleep could save your life How could you become another boy struck dumb How could you become another boy struck dumb with love I live to fall asleep I live to fall asleep [Verse 2] I live to fall asleep It helps me through the day Drink has never dulled A pain so deep does run I live to fall asleep Serene alone happy Holding on to screams Waiting for the time [Chorus] When did you become another distant friend Everyone who loved you stayed waited till the end When did you become another distant friend Everyone who loved you stayed waited till the end Oh when did you decide that sleep could save your life How could you become another boy struck dumb How could you become another boy struck dumb with love I live to fall asleep I live to fall asleep [Verse 3] So lazy lazy lazy Chuck down all the pills Needing to remember how and why to live Oh when did you decide that sleep could save your life How could you become another boy struck dumb How could you become another boy struck dumb with love I live to fall asleep I live to fall asleep Ohh

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson aborde le thème de la lutte intérieure et du refuge que l'on trouve dans le sommeil. Elle évoque une quête désespérée de paix face à des sentiments de douleur et d'aliénation, tout en soulignant comment l'évasion par le sommeil peut être vue comme une tentative de régénération, malgré ses dangers. Le protagoniste semble confronté à des relations distantes et à une solitude accablante, se demandant à quel moment les liens se sont altérés. Dans un contexte où la consommation de substances pour échapper à des réalités douloureuses est mise en avant, le morceau se penche également sur les défis de la vie quotidienne et les pressions émotionnelles qui en résultent. Les paroles reflètent un profond désir de connexion et de compréhension, tout en traversant les méandres d'une existence troublée.
