The Panics - Sleeps Like a Curse

      
 
 C Dm C Dm C 
      
 
 I'm worried I aint got the nerve to play
 
 I'm told my problem is I act to late
      Dm                           
 that even though I know what I say
                  C  
 it may not translate
 
 I only ever try to avoid these games
 
 If I lose my baby then I lose my way
 Dm                         
 Lose like any gambler would
                  C  F 
 who never could wait
 
                          Dm           G 
 I aint competing just to hold you back
                           Am              F 
 I'm never hiding you just follow my tracks
                                 Dm            
 I have the kind of thoughts you gotta distract
            Am          C 
 I wouldn't lean on that
 
 
 I get no feeling the ordinary way
 
 I'm only guessing, guess I like it that way
     Dm                          
 you see that habit still remains
                  C   
 of hiding from change
 
 the only voice that answers me
 
 is the voice of mine at age thirteen
     Dm                           
 who learnt you never get no place
                        C  F 
 with the weakest handshake
 
                  Dm              
 I lie under and hide at the worst
                   Am              F 
 I prepare for the end at the first
                                  Dm                
 I have the kind of thought that sleeps like a curse
        Am          
 and it leans on her
 
 F Dm F Dm Am F 
       
 
                          Dm           G 
 I aint competing just to hold you back
                           Am              F 
 I'm never hiding you just follow my tracks
                                 Dm             
 I have the kind of thoughts you got to distract
            Am          
 I wouldn't lean on that
